A -Z Go Galapagos - Kleintours ECUADOR, QUITO, GALÁPAGOS
The Galapagos Islands is an archipelago located about 600 miles west of the coast of Ecuador in South America. Visitors can take a local flight from Quito or Guayaquil to Baltra Island where the adventure will start on board a cruise ship. The islands are probably best known
for inspiring Charles Darwin to write On the Origin of Species, regarded as the foundation of evolutionary biology. Not much has changed since Darwin’s visit in 1835, though today the archipelago is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s a unique destination where wildlife can be seen up close, and the surroundings give an idea what primitive flora looked like. Every day is a new adventure on board
Go Galapagos’ boutique expedition vessels, which offer guided tours of the islands in groups of 12, accompanied by an expert naturalist. Visitors get to see legendary species such as the Galapagos giant tortoise, the waved albatross — famous for its courtship dance — and frigatebirds with their bright red pouches.
After the tour, guests can enjoy other
activities, such as snorkelling, kayaking and diving. These optional activities allow visitors to view sea lions, sea turtles, marine iguanas and even charming little Galapagos penguins. Back on board, Go Galapagos offers
first-class, all-inclusive services in comfortable cabins and contemporary social areas. 18 of the suites have balconies, so guests can enjoy the passing scenery throughout their trip. The tour also includes an al fresco
barbecue where travellers can enjoy a local beer as the vessel sails through this incredible archipelago. Spend some time in the panoramic lounge, sunbathe on the open decks or keep up your exercise regime in the fitness room. Learn more about the destination in the library, or have a chat with the expedition leader, who will be happy to share their knowledge of the islands. Go Galapagos offers the best itineraries and weekly departures.
