GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
In the Pacific Ocean, 600 nautical miles away from the Ecuadorian
continental coast, lies the Galapagos Islands, the biggest natural
laboratory of the world where Charles Darwin sustained his theory about the
Evolution of the Species. The huge 600-pound "Galapagos" tortoises gave the
name to the islands. Its creatures are not afraid of human beings, so you
can swim with sea lions, Galapagos penguins or pelicans. UNESCO proclaimed
GALAPAGOS a "Natural Heritage of Humanity" because of its rare and unique
wildlife.
ISLANDS
ISABELA
This is the biggest island in Galapagos formed by five big volcanoes.
Because of its size and the presence of the volcanoes, Isabela presents a
diversity of fauna and flora unmatched by the rest of the islands and also has
some of the Galapagos richest marine zones. The most visited place is Tagus Cove. This was traditionally a place where the whaling boats arrived to anchor. The coast around the cove is very rich and you can tour-boat to look for penguins, marine iguanas, pelicans and other animals.
SANTA CRUZ
The most populated island in the archipelago where the Charles Darwin
Scientific Station and its different projects are located. Its main port,
Puerto Ayora, has several hotels, restaurants, a bank, discotheques and
folkloric stores. The island also has other attractive points, such as the
Bellavista lava tunnel to the north (a bay with sea turtles, fish, mantas,
and sharks), and the marvelous Tortuga Bay beaches, and the Twin Craters.
SAN CRISTOBAL
This is a large island, with many places to visit, and with diverse
vegetation. Almost on top of the island you can visit El Junco lagoon,
the only fresh water lagoon in the Galapagos. One of the most interesting
places is Punta Pitt. It is ideal to take pictures of the volcanic
landscapes and birds, which are usually far away from the trail so you might
need zoom lenses.
FLOREANA
Floreana was the most visited island for whale and turtle hunters several
years ago. The reason for this is the presence of a permanent fresh water
spring and easy anchoring places. The Punta Cormorant trail is very easy, surrounds a salt-water lagoon where there are large quantities of flamingos and other aquatic birds. The trail ends in a very beautiful white sandy beach, that is and important nesting place for marine turtles.
BALTRA
Most of the visitors that arrive to the islands fly to the Baltra
Airport. This is the only island that is not part of the Galapagos National
Park. The Ecuadorian Army, who's also in charge of the airport, controls the
administration of the island.
ESPAOLA
This is an arid island without trees but with dense vegetation of thorny
bushes. The trail of Punta Suarez is the trail that offers the largest
number of animals. There are important colonies of marine birds, marine
iguanas, mocking birds, Galapagos hawks, lizards and many other species.
GENOVESA
Recently opened for tourism, this island is a paradise for bird lovers and
photographers. It offers a big variety of birds, adding big colonies of
petrels and the possibility of observing short-eared owls.
FERNANDINA
The only visited site in this island is called Punta Espinosa, and it is one of
the most interesting places in Galapagos. It has the biggest concentration
of marine iguanas, Galapagos hawks are not rare and the rare flightless
cormorant, unique to Isabela and Fernandina, nests near the water.
BARTOLOME
This is a little and extremely arid island, but is one of the favorite sites
of the visitors. It offers a beautiful beach and a magnificent bay with
clear and calm waters. There is a small penguin colony, and along the south
beach you can usually see sharks.
SANTIAGO
The most important place to visit is Puerto Egas, especially interesting at
low tide. It is fascinating to look for invertebrates in the tidal
pools. At the end of the trail you may see the grottos or pools where the Fur sea
lions live. Galapagos hawks iguanas and different species of coast birds
are abundant in this island.
RABIDA
Little island with characteristic red volcanic rocks that have formed a
beautiful red beach. This island is the home of an important colony of sea
lions. There is a little salt-water lagoon where you can observe pink
flamingos.
SANTA FE
The most attractive aspect of this island is the beautiful and calm bay
where the ships anchor. The vegetation is arid with tree-like Opuntia cactus. On this island you can find a land iguana that is endemic in Santa Fe.
SOUTH PLAZA
The vegetation of this island is arid and consists of beautiful formations
of Sessuvium that display a bright red color during the dry season. In this
island you can observe one of the most important colonies of Galapagos sea
lions. From the cliff you can observe marine birds like swallow-tailed
gulls, pelicans, puffins and the acrobatics tropical birds trying to land on
their nests.
NORTH SEYMOUR
This is a flat and rocky island. There is a large variety of fauna,
including sea lions, swallow-tailed gulls, marine iguanas, blue-footed
boobies that nests during the dry season, and an important nesting colony of
the two species of Frigate birds with their spectacular courtship.
Please note: July, August and December are very busy.

One of our business partners became one of the first recipients of SmartVoyager, a voluntary environmental certification developed by the Rainforest Alliance and Corporacion y Desarollo from Ecuador. This program gives a "green seal of approval" to tour boats that comply with requirements to tread lightly on the area's fragile ecosystem. In order to comply boats must only use lead-free and TBT-free paid, biodegradable soaps and detergents, recycle wastes, produce fresh water through desalinization units, use four stroke outboard engines on tenders and filter of black and gray water through purified ozone among many other requirements. The standards also require good living conditions and advanced training for the boat crew and guides.
Passengers will be encouraged to donate to a new fund administered by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in support of the Galapagos National Park. This new fund called Galapagos Marine Biodiversity Fund (GMBF) targets environmental education and marine conservation by strengthening the local communities ability to manage natural resources.
