Destination
Galapagos
Where wildlife has never learned to fear humans
The Galapagos Islands are a living laboratory of evolution, sitting 1,000km off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific. Strict conservation rules mean the islands remain largely untouched - marine iguanas sunbathe on volcanic rock, sea lions play in the shallows, and giant tortoises roam the highlands. Chartering here is expedition-style: zodiac landings, guided nature walks, and some of the most extraordinary diving on the planet.
