Galápagos Islands Holidays

Set 600 miles off the mainland, a Galápagos Islands holiday is a truly unforgettable experience and offers the chance to view the unique species of animals which ultimately changed the way we view the planet.

Giant tortoises roam many of the islands, whilst the iconic blue-footed boobies and swimming marine iguanas can be found across the archipelago. Beneath the waves reef sharks, penguins and dolphins compete for your attention, whilst playful seals and sea lions swim alongside snorkelers, kayaks and pangas (small motorised dinghy).

On your holiday to the Galápagos Islands you can follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin and embark on a Galápagos cruise for a voyage of discovery in a place unlike anywhere else on earth. No day is ever the same on your cruise. Whilst the daily routine is similar for all ships, your wildlife experience will depend on which of the islands you’ll visit and the unique diversity of flora and fauna found on each. Read our short guide as to what to expect.

Trailfinders offers a range of Galápagos Islands holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore the islands on board a luxury Celebrity Cruise or a smaller intimate vessel, or to combine your visit with a stay in mainland Ecuador and the Amazon Rainforest for the ultimate wildlife viewing experience - they are the perfect people to ask.
