The Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, have captured the hearts and imaginations of people for the past two centuries. The history of the Islands is turbulent and mysterious. The Galapagos islands have been invaded by buccaneers and pirates, mapped by topographers, studied by scientists, biologists, and historians, settled by a modern-day Adam and Eve in the early 20th century, and there's even been a little love triangle or two.

Now, it's your turn to discover the enchanted islands! A vacation in the Galapagos islands is a dream come true. Imagine scuba diving with hammerhead sharks and graceful sea turtles. Spend your holiday cruising to the west side of Isabela to see the flightless cormorant. Look at the map and study each island, then create your own tailor-made vacation cruise or tour by chartering a yacht with friends. Perhaps you want to volunteer ar the Charles Darwin Research Foundation and study the plants and animals of an island. Or spend your Galapagos vacations on one of the four islands that have hotels and accommodation, relaxing by settling into the daily life of the Galapagos Islands. You can take day trips to other Islands, go kayaking, trekking, and scuba diving. There are so many possibilities for your Galapagos holidays. What are you waiting for?
