Galapagos Islands Tours & Holidays

Thanks to the discoveries of Charles Darwin, we now know that wildlife migrated to the striking volcanic, archipelagic habitat long ago, and have since evolved into entirely new species. Few other places on earth can claim to have had such an influence on science, evolution or human development. The most developed and inhabited island is Santa Cruz where the airport and the Charles Darwin Research Station are located, although restrictions and preservation efforts are among some of the strictest in the world. From here you can either check into your island accommodation, board your cruise or take a water-taxi to one of the neighbouring islands: Isabela, the largest island of the archipelago, or San Cristobal, the third most populous of the four inhabited islands. Other islands are only accessible by cruise and there are day tours available for the nearer ones whilst the multi-day cruises are necessary to visit the remote islands further afield.
