The Galapagos Islands still hold a fascination long after Charles Darwin did his famous work on natural selection among the lava rocks of the 10 million year old volcanic archipelago. The Enchanted Islands, as how it was named by a Spanish pirate, can be your next destination for knowledge and adventure. Take a Galapagos cruise with your kids and see the same rich natural beauty Charles Darwin chronicled in his researches.
The animals Darwin saw more than a hundred years ago and were the objects of his study are still there – the finches, sea lions, iguanas and giant tortoises. Dive right in to the crystal clear waters of the tropical ocean surrounding the chain of 6 islands and 52 smaller islands and islets and see the occasional dolphins and marine turtles swimming by.
The volcanic islands are perfect places to explore with your family. There are trails that start on the beaches and lead up into the forested mountains. Some trails are perfect yet safe for adventurous kids. Select the trail that fits your pace and stamina. There can be no other vacation that is good for your mind and body.
Contribute something to nature by taking part in an ongoing conservation program for the preservation of the islands’ rich natural history.
Galapagos cruise liners are modern ships that offer the best living and dining amenities. Because the attentive crew is there to take care of all your needs, a trip to the Enchanted Islands is an adventure you will surely enjoy.
