Andean Discovery provides custom Galapagos tours, cruises and land-based tours built to your exacting needs.
A visit to the Galapagos Archipelago is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We understand that this may be your only trip to the Galapagos and we’ll make sure that it’s all you’ve imagined.
In the natural environment of the Galapagos, the animals have no instinctive fear of humans, allowing you amazingly close encounters with unique species such as Blue-footed Boobies, land and marine iguanas, Waved Albatrosses, Flightless Cormorants, and 400-pound giant Galapagos Tortoises. Isolated from the mainland for millions of years, the species on these volcanic islands have simply lost all aversion toward predators. Charles Darwin called this natural paradise, “a little world within itself.”
Explore the wonder of the Galapagos islands in one of our Galapagos cruise ships or yachts, or venture through the islands with one of our land based Galapagos tours.
There’s not one single best time to visit Galapagos, but we’ll help you decide when, where and how are best for YOU on a custom designed Galapagos tour with Andean Discovery.
