Tailor-made Tours of Galapagos & Ecuador

The isles of the Galapagos are surely on every wildlife enthusiast's dream-list of places to visit. Join us for a cruise around these 'enchanted isles', and why not combine this with a trip to the fabulous cloud-forests of the Andes or rainforests of the Amazon, with a dazzling array of birds.

Lying 600 miles away from the continent of South America, the remote isles of the Galapagos have played a central role in the history of man's ideas. Named 'The Enchanted Isles' by the first sailors because of the mist that often hid them from sight, they have had a long history as a haven for both explorers and pirates. But it was Charles Darwin's observations of the relationships between the islands' species, inspiring one of the most revolutionary of scientific theories, that ultimately caused the human species to look at itself quite differently.
