The Galapagos Islands are known for their enormous variety of wildlife in an unspoiled and beautiful environment. You'll see fur seals and iguanas, sea lions and sea turtles, Darwin's finches and swallow-tailed gulls, magnificent frigates, blue-footed boobies and much more.
Snorkeling with sea turtles and kayaking are popular excursions. Most itineraries call at the Charles Darwin Research Station to learn about efforts to restore the archipelago's giant tortoise population.
