Galapagos Island Travel & Tours

Galapagos Island Travel

Where Adventure And Comfort Merge

Galapagos Island Travel is the destination and vacation of choice by discerning nature and comfort lovers.  Situated off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Archipelago is home to animals, reptiles, marine and birdlife, numbering in the thousands, and tens of thousands – far outnumbering their human hosts.  When booking tours for the Galapagos Islands, be prepared to exercise your curiosity when on the trip of a lifetime, viewing these plentiful creatures.

With only about 30 thousand human inhabitants on a half dozen islands in the chain, wildlife far outnumbers the bipeds.  In fact, eco tourism takes on a whole new meaning when you are surrounded by hundreds of friendly sea lions that are fearless of man.  Having no natural predators, most species have flourished and adapted to this most unusual and protected environment like nowhere else on earth.

Actually, there are 18 main islands sporting a plethora of endemic wildlife on land and sea, and on numerous lesser islands and islets as well.  Because the islands were formed by volcanic action, there is also a tremendous amount of rock formation and dramatic cliffs and rock-scapes for travelers’ visual pleasure.  The geography is truly stunning.

Species abound with extensive populations Galapagos Island travel vacationers will most assuredly see while on the twice daily excursion offerings provided through Galapagos Explorer.  For example, travelers can view large populations of land iguanas, flightless cormorants, the Galapagos penguins, pelicans, and blue-footed boobies to name just a few.

Flamingos, green sea turtles, Darwin finches, and doves also make the islands their home.  There are black lava rocks, and steep cliffs, volcanic cones and ash formations that look more like the moon than earth, all of which are tantalizing for travelers on this most unusual of eco trips.

All this astonishing array of nature by either land or water is available for the discerning tourist who seeks both adventure and comfort in a vacation experience.  The Galapagos Explorer has all the amenities sophisticated travelers expect onboard their environmentally conscious vessel, the Explorer II.

Plus, the Explorer II is the only all-suite ship operating in the Galapagos Islands.  We are equipped with luxurious and spacious cabin interiors providing internet access and television.  We provide a massage room, solarium, Jacuzzi-bar, and naturalist library.  Our specially trained staff is committed to providing the best care and comfort for travelers on their Galapagos Island travel cruise.

We provide fun activities for children and adults alike as well, after a day of wildlife viewing.  An exquisite evening meal complete with Ecuadoran chocolate can finish the day, followed by relaxing star-gazing on the deck after dinner.  We offer towel-folding and Spanish lessons, karaoke and theme parties as well.  Between the reptiles, animals, geography, plant and marine life on the islands along with luxury cruising, you’ll see why nature lovers and comfort seekers can have it all on the trip of a lifetime to the Galapagos.
