During our adventures in South America we travelled to one of the planet’s most remarkable destinations, the Galapagos Islands, and spent nearly 3 weeks exploring the archipelago.
This is a place that defies belief. Where wildlife has no fear of humans, conservation is the most important consideration and every day is filled with ‘bucket list’ moments.
We never thought anywhere would come close to the wonders and majestic splendour of Antarctica. The Galapagos rivalled it.
Where else in the world can you swim with penguins, snorkel with sharks, dive with marine iguanas, walk next to giant tortoises and admire incredible sunsets all in the same day?
Rather than confine ourselves to one island and do day trips from there, we joined two incredible cruises with the tour operator Ecoventura, which took us out to the remote locations that can only be reached when doing live-aboard boat adventures.
Being on their luxury yachts allowed us to visit places completely on our own. We went days without seeing a single other tourist besides the dozen or so on our boats. This also meant that for most of the time, we had the unique wildlife all to ourselves.
This is the magic of the Galapaogos Islands in pictures.

Were headed to the Galapagos the first week of May but had to cancel due to the Coronavirus. Rescheduling for next year sometime. Was wondering what month you went that you got to see the blue footed boobies mating.
So glad you rescheduled. It is a stunning place and one of a kind. I think it was in September. We saw the mating dances the boobies do and chicks. They were so cute. Have a wonderful time.
Thanks for sharing those amazing photos. I was planning to make a visit to Galapagos Island soon.
Thank you so much. You are going to have a great trip. We loved exploring this place. Say hi to the penguins for us. 🙂

Thank you so much. Definitely is an amazing place for lots of different creatures. It is great as Galapagos have a great protection program for the animals and are very strict on the rules. It is great. It is a stunning part of the world.
