About this trip
Five days across two of the Galápagos' main islands, San Cristóbal and Santa Cruz, with a visit to one of the uninhabited islands where the wildlife has never learned to be wary of people.
This is a close-up wildlife trip rather than a beach holiday — expect to be walking among giant tortoises, stepping around sea lions, and watching blue-footed boobies do their thing without much distance between you and them.
The operator is certified by Travelife, TourCert and the UN Global Compact, so the trip is run with an eye on conservation and local communities rather than just ticking off sightings.
