Galápagos: Wildlife Wonderland

Exotic wildlife welcomes you ashore as they go about their daily routines on remote Galápagos Islands untouched by time. Lots of families live here in large colonies, like red- and blue-footed boobies whose webbed shoes are some of the most colorful you'll see on a feathered local, and their masked relatives, the Nazca boobies. Galápagos fur seals, found nowhere else in the world, congregate en masse on rock shores, with many of the pups staying near their mothers for up to three years. Sea-diving marine iguanas, unique among reptiles, live in harems guarded by head-bobbing males who threaten unwanted suitors, and the islands' penguins populate beachfront neighborhoods with their chicks as both parents take turns feeding and caring for them. Others are solitary creatures, like giant tortoises who are on their own from birth as they lumber along on a life's journey that can last more than 100 years. Which gives them ample time to greet families like yours when you come ashore.

4-night Galapagos Islands cruise with expert naturalist guides, average of two shore excursions per day; explore Quito and visit the Equator

Tauck

Tauck Style
Tauck Tours offers enriching travel experiences. Our highest priority is to ensure that you have an experience that is exciting, fun, educational and memorable. You'll enjoy the companionship, savings and convenience of group travel and still feel as if you are traveling "on your own." When you travel, we feel your freedom is important, so we avoid conspicuous grouping and regimentation.

All Expenses
Virtually every vacation expense is included...and in those rare cases where we might exclude something the reason is clearly stated in the itinerary. Some of our competitors use the term "all-expense" but in reality offer little more than transportation and minimum hotels. At Tauck we believe that if an item is a necessary travel expense it should be included in the price of the tour.
