Explore Galápagos Islands
There are places you know before you even visit them — and places that you only truly understand once you have been there. The Galápagos Islands belong to the second category. Nils has traveled to the islands multiple times and says that they surprise him anew every time. Not because of the landscape, but mainly because of the animals. Sea lions, blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, frigatebirds — all without the slightest shyness. No binoculars needed, no quiet waiting time by the bush. The animals come right to you, or you go to them.
At the same time, a trip there is anything but taken for granted. Which islands are really worth it? Cruise or fixed accommodation on Santa Cruz? What are you allowed to do, and what not — and why is that a good thing? When is the best time to see whale sharks, and when does the highlands of the islands bloom?
Our Galápagos Islands travel guide answers all of that for you. We help you put together a trip that suits you — whether you prefer diving, hiking, or just sitting on the beach for hours watching how life here has its own rhythm.
