Considered to be the number one location in the world for wildlife watching, the Galapagos Islands gives visitors an unrivaled chance to get up close and personal with the iconic and in many cases unique species.
Where else can you: become completely blasé about seeing giant tortoises, snigger at Blue and Red-footed Boobies, literally swim with the sharks (albeit non-aggressive Galapagos sharks and hammerheads), go nose-to-nose with curious sea lions, visit the most northerly penguins in the world, be water-snorted at by a marine iguana. You can even sail alongside spy-hopping killer whales or snorkel with turtles and rays.
