GOLDEN GALAPAGOS CRUISES

Full-service luxury travel agency and tour operator
There ’ s no question that the renowned Galapagos Islands are a permanent fixture on an overwhelming majority of bucket lists – and it ’ s not hard to understand why . From being greeted at the airport by giant land iguanas resting lazily around the grounds to snorkeling alongside enormous sea turtles , graceful sea lions , and playful penguins , the “ Living Laboratory ” that inspired Charles Darwin ’ s Theory of Evolution is simply not to be missed . Quite possibly what is most incredible about the Galapagos is simply that there is always something incredible to witness in nature on land and in the waters surrounding the islands – the sheer amount of plant life and wildlife means that there are always fascinating , unexpected things to see . And in today ’ s pandemic-inflicted world , it ’ s also one of the safest places to visit on earth due to its remoteness , strict limits on visitor numbers , and proactive vaccination campaigns .
