One of the world’s most remarkable destinations, the Galapagos Islands are a travellers’ paradise. Offering white sand beaches, awe-inspiring wildlife and uninhabited islands; it is easy to see why the Galapagos are often referred to as the ‘Enchanted Isles’.
Taking a small boat cruise around the islands is the best way to explore. Providing an unrestricted 360-degree view as well as access to the more secluded islands to which only small boats can dock, ticking off the bucket list is easy.
With a unique ecosystem and interesting history linked to the islands, there is much to see and learn when visiting. Our world-class guides at Quasar Expeditions are dedicated to providing the best experiences for all of our guests and have a true passion and care for the Galapagos.
Tourist Attractions That You Must See When Visiting the Islands
A Galapagos luxury cruise combined with one of our Galapagos Islands tour packages is one of the best ways to fulfill many items on your bucket list, truly turning it into a once-in-a-lifetime trip. The lack of human inhabitation has enabled the natural habitat to stay in immaculate condition and the lack of natural predators means that the majority of wildlife is a lot more fearless towards humans. When visiting this beautiful region, be sure to participate in the following activities.
Close Wildlife Encounters
The islands are famous for being able to get closer to wildlife than anywhere in the world. Unique encounters with animals such as sea lions, iguanas and giant tortoises are breathtaking and must be experienced whilst visiting.
Snorkeling and Diving
Another experience that you must have is taking a view under the water. Whether you are qualified to dive or simply swim with a snorkel, the marine life is awe-inspiring. Whales, dolphins, turtles and countless species of fish roam around the sapphire blue waters.
The Charles Darwin Research Centre
The majority of visitors will know at least basic history about the Galapagos Islands; usually that these were where Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution was developed. In present times, the research centre is used to breed and rehabilitate animals, making it a great place to broaden your knowledge as well as get up close and personal with beautiful and rare species.
Soak up the sun and relax
In the midst of these amazing and unique opportunities, don’t forget to sit back and relax. The Galapagos Islands are also home to beautiful beaches with soft white sand providing a feeling of paradise.
