Venture on a short-but-sweet adventure through the Galapagos Islands

Take a thrilling sojourn around the highlights of the unique flora- and fauna-rich Islands of the Galapagos. From rubbing shoulders with prehistoric-looking giant tortoises and marine iguanas, to gazing up in wonder at the spectacular blue-footed boobies’ synchronised fishing technique, the Galapagos offers the chance to see an abundance of rare creatures at close range. There are also heaps of opportunities to explore the underwater world of the Galapagos by snorkelling and diving in the surrounding waters - usually in the good company of playful sea lions and sea turtles. With just the right amount of relaxation, adventure and wildlife-filled awe, this Galapagos Venture is the way to go to see the very best of the Galapagos.

  • Watch the aerobatics of blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds
