Sanur Galapagos Islands Barren and volcanic, the Galapagos Islands have a unique and haunting beauty, lying 1000km west of Ecuador and covering 50,000 square kilometres of the Pacific Ocean. Comprised of 19 islands, unique wildlife is a big draw card here. The pristine white and red sand shores are filled with multicoloured forms of life including the albatross, penguin, blue-footed boobie, giant tortoise, iguana, sea lion, whale and dolphin. Granted as a national park in 1959, the archipelago is now protected with all visitors being accompanied by certified naturalist tour guides. Your options to experience the Galapagos Islands are either to stay in a hotel as a base to explore, or spend some time cruising about the islands by boat.
