CRUISE SHIPS: A cruise is definitely the best way
to visit many of the islands in a short period of
time. Tours are a minimum of four days. There is
a wide range of cruise offers, from small sailboats
for about 18 passengers to big luxurious cruise
ships for more than 100 passengers.
LAND OPTIONS: Another way to visit the Galapa-
gos is to stay in a hotel at one of the inhabited
islands. You can travel from one island to another
by light aircraft or boat.
GALAPAGOS MARINE RESERVE: The interior
waters of the islands, plus those within 40 nautical
miles were declared the Galapagos Marine Re-
serve in 1994. This is the only protected coastal
marine area in the East Pacific and the second
largest Marine Reserve in the World.
There are many areas with small submarine
volcanoes. People can snorkel with sea lions,
penguins, a variety of colorful fish and even inof-
fensive sharks. Diving courses and tours are also
offered for divers of different skill levels
In Santa Cruz, visit the Charles Darwin Research
Center.
A cruiser is the first option for touring around the is-
lands.
There are 50 tourist points on the islands. Each
one contains unique natural treasures that can´t be
found anywhere else on the planet. We recommend
Genovesa Island, El Leon Dormido, Urbina Bay,
Elisabeth Bay, and Punta Cormorant.
