Evolution in Action – Galapagos Island Tours

By J Gonsalves

Galapagos Island Tours are a fantastic way to see evolution in action. By taking an expedition of these tiny volcanic islands that lie just straddling the equator in the Pacific Ocean, you will be treated some truly incredible sights. Cruise the region by boat, ship or yacht to enjoy schools of whales, dolphins and sharks swimming by that migrate here during colder climes. If you take a panga or kayak ride close to the shores of any of these islands, you will also come across colonies of playful sea lions and the unusual looking marine iguanas that rest along the rocky coast. <<more>>

 

Galapagos Adventures - Activities in the Galapagos Islands

Completely unique, these islands are truly one of a kind and are a great place to see evolution in action. Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos in 1835 and it was here that he gathered important and key information to prove his Theory of Natural Selection. <<more>>

 

Darwin & The Galapagos Islands

By J Gonsalves

Formed roughly four to five million years ago, the Galapagos Islands today, is one of the most special places on earth. What makes these volcanic islands so extraordinary is that when they were created by the eruption of underwater volcanoes, they were totally devoid of any plant or animal life. Yet somehow over the millennia, these islands have now become home to several endemic species of wildlife including the Galapagos Tortoise, the Flightless Cormorant and the Red-billed Tropicbird. <<more>>

 

The Galapagos Islands

By Donna Baker-Olson

 

I can't say enough about this trip from beginning to end. The experience was exceptional. It is simply amazing how close we were able to get to the birds and reptiles. We walked among them and they just stared back at us. Taking their pictures did not faze them at all.

I made a lot of new friends on the Isabela II. The Isabela II is a small yacht that only holds 40 guests total. There are 3 naturalists on board that accompanied us everywhere. They give lectures on the wildlife and explain the necessity for conservation in the Galapagos Islands.<<more>>
