Other Things to do

    The islands that inspired Darwin now entice divers with a menagerie of big animal thrills. At the crossroads of the Equatorial Counter current and the colder Humboldt Current, the nutrient-waters of the Galapagos Islands attract everything from whales and whale sharks to pods of dolphins and large schools of hammerhead and silky sharks. Divers can see marine iguanas free dive the shallows in search of a meal, while curious sea lions, fur seals and penguins frolic alongside sea turtles and tropical fish. No visit is complete without a land tour to see the world's largest tortoises and witness the birthplace of the theory of evolution.
