Nature rules.

Galapagos literally means 'the islands of the giant tortoise'. Here, on this other-worldly island chain, wild animals show no fear of humans. Nature rules, not man.

It’s easy to get carried away by the animals, but that shouldn’t detract from the rest on offer. White beaches with volcanic sand that sparkles and truly turquoise seas rival the Caribbean. There are more than 20 great dive sites, and just with a snorkel you’ll see white tip sharks, hammerheads, turtles, penguins, hunting sea-bids, plus all the tropical fish you can ask for.
