Follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife cruise around Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands. The archipelago of 18 islands is completely detached from the mainland, and as a result, each is inhabited by endemic species found nowhere else in the world. Board your vessel in Los Gemelos and sail from island to island, stopping to admire expansive lagoons and tangled mangroves, alive with an extraordinary array of birdlife. As you catch a glimpse of a boogying blue-footed booby or spot a slumbering sea lion, you’ll see why the iconic archipelago tops so many travellers’ bucket-lists.

Each island promises novel wildlife sightings: on Isabela you’ll find peach-feathered flamingos, Fernandina’s ocean edge is filled with marine iguanas, while fur sea lions take refuge on Santiago’s black sand beaches. The cerulean ocean is also home to intriguing marine life and avid divers will delight at the unspoilt coral reefs and encyclopaedia of sea life.

4.8/5

Pat was amazing, a true credit to Original Travel. He pulled together a fantastic itinerary and made insightful suggestions for things we could do that we hadn't thought of. He was generous with his time and expertise. We couldn't have asked for more. Would give 5+ if the ratings scale above allowed me to! The comms coming out of the UK are great. The app is particularly good. Some really lovely gifts awaited us at the hotels / on the boats courtesy of Original Travel. This was totally unexpected and very much appreciated. We had the holiday of a lifetime. We have zero complaints and wouldn't change a single aspect of our holiday. Give Pat a massive bonus! He's an incredible ambassador for your company and really knows his stuff. Truly outstanding.
