"It appears to me that nothing
can be more improving to a young naturalist than a journey in distant
countries..."
|

|
"The tortoise is very fond of water,
drinking large quantities, and wallowing in the mud. The larger
islands alone possess springs, and these are always situated
towards the central parts, and at a considerable height. The
tortoises, therefore, which frequent the lower districts, when
thirsty, are obliged to travel from a long distance. Hence broad
and well-beaten paths branch off in every direction from the
wells down to the sea-coast; and the Spaniards by following them
up, first discovered the watering-places."
- Charles
Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle
|
The
Galapagos Giant Tortoise may be seen at the Charles
Darwin Research Station in Puerto Ayora and at El
Chato in the highlands of Santa Cruz, at the
Tortoise Reserve on San Cristobal Island and at
Sierra Negra Volcano on southern Isabela Island.
Most Galapagos cruises and tours include one of
these visitor sites. Check out our
Galapagos Guided Tour to get an idea
of what other amazing wildlife you will be able to
see and photograph on our Galapagos cruises and
tours. |

Yachts offering SCUBA Diving
We offer a variety of opportunities for SCUBA diving in the
Galapagos Islands. Underwater Galapagos can be as exciting and interesting
as Galapagos ashore. The combination of ocean fishes, birds, mammals and
reptiles sets Galapagos apart from other marine environments.
Galapagos Yacht Charters for a group or family vacation adventure...
You
may wish to charter the whole motor or sailing yacht solely for your group or family
vacation.
Charter cruises are generally a little less per person and provide more
customized service. Yacht charters are a great way to more intimately
experience the wonders of the Galapagos Islands.
All of the ships and
yachts we offer are available for fully crewed charter cruises. Please ask.
