Galapagos archipelago
A miracle of nature
As far as we are concerned, the Galapagos Islands are one of the most magical places on earth! Not only has the group of islands never been attached to the mainland, creating a unique flora and fauna, but the animals on the Galapagos do not see humans as a natural enemy, so they do not run away when they see humans.

Make an unforgettable cruise through the archipelago
The best way to discover the islands is, in our opinion, on board of a small and comfortable cruise. For this, we work with various luxury Galapagos cruises that take you to the most special places on the Galapagos. On the way, the crew will make sure that you will not lack anything and in the evening you will sleep in a comfortable private cabin with all modern conveniences.

Staying on the island
Is a cruise not something for you? Then it is also possible to stay in an accommodation on one of the three inhabited islands in the Galapagos archipelago. From here you will be taken on several one-day excursions and discover the secrets of this special place.

The main inhabitant of the archipelago
Meet the most important inhabitants of the archipelago: the sea lions. The large colonies form a true spectacle. When the animals are relaxing on the beach, you can easily walk through the group. And while snorkelling, it may happen that a young curious sea lion wants to play with you.

Giant tortoises
In the highlands of the island of Santa Cruz you will find the El Manzanillo Giant Tortoise Reserve. This is a reserve for the giant tortoises. It will amaze you how big they are here. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

A bird paradise for everyone
Not only for the true expert, but for everyone this is a true bird paradise. Travel specialist Petra said the following: "Personally I thought I didn't like birds very much, of course I always thought it was special to see toucans, macaws, flamingos and so on, but now that I can get so close to this little bird, I believe this is a very special experience”.

On the road with dedicated guides
Whether you choose a Galapagos cruise or an overnight stay on the mainland, together with dedicated guides you will participate in various daily activities to discover this special environment. Perhaps a curious sea lion will come to you while snorkelling, or you will witness a frigate bird blowing up its bright red throat to impress a female or step into a kayak on the open sea.

Marine life
Not only on land you will find special animal species, the marine life around the Galapagos also provides you with a special experience. Large sea turtles, schools of colourful fish, sea lions and perhaps hammerhead sharks or manta rays can be encountered. If desired, you can choose to dive for one or a few days during your stay.
