Meet an Iguana on Baltra, Stunning Galapagos Cruise

Floreana Island Cruise
On Your Galapagos Cruise to Cormorant Point, Floreana, Experience an Eruption of Marine-life in the Volcanic Cone
Floreana Island was once a penal colony for Ecuador, the first capital of the Galapagos and where Charles Darwin met the viceroy of Galapagos. Your excursion options include a medium-intensity wet landing at Cormorant Point (or Punta Cormorant), where you may see two plant species found only at this particular site, as well as flamingos, stilts and whit cheeked pintail ducks. Or try advanced snorkelling in Devil's Crown Volcanic Cone to spy grunts, groupers, chubs, spotted eagle rays, white-tipped reed sharks, sea stars, parrotfish and rainbow wrasse.
Ecuador Cruise
A Cruise to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador will be the Journey of Your Lifetime
Located 1,000 km from the Ecuadorian mainland, the archipelago consists of 13 major islands, of which 5 are inhabited. The Island's interesting volcanic geology, as well as its rich flora and fauna have been admired and studied by numerous travellers, scientist, and nature-lovers. Scientist are still faced with a mystery how such a large diversity of species could develop in a remote location like the Galapagos Islands. On the Islands, a multitude of animals, by most people only known from the BBC Wildlife Programmes, are romping about: the main reason for Explorers cruise ship passengers and nature lovers to pay the Galapagos Islands a visit. Interested to know who first set foot on the Islands? Whether it was the Incas, refugees, pirates, or seafarer who were seized with a thirst for adventure? Find out about the human history of the Galapagos Islands! One of the first to visit was Charles Darwin, who was fascinated by the natural history of the archipelago. His five-week stay gave the impetus to the famous Theory of Evolution. The Galapagos Islands are blessed with pleasant weather all year round, which means that there is no "better" time to visit those precious Islands. (Also see Individual Islands for more details)
North Seymour Cruise

San Cristobal Cruise
A Galapagos Cruise to some Freshwater at P. Baquerizo, San Cristobal

Puerto Ayora Cruise
A Galapagos Island Cruise Offers a Stroll Down Charles Darwin Avenue on Your Visit to Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz)
A fifteen-minute stroll from one end to the other along Charles Darwin Avenue promises plenty of sights and sounds in this, the largest city of the Galapagos Islands. A charming seaside town, Puerto Ayora features Ecuadorian and international cuisine, local artisans and shopping as well as snorkeling and scuba diving.
Isabela Cruise
On Your Galapagos Island Cruise to Urvina Bay (Isabela) Walk on a Coral Reef and Breathe
In 1954, the Alcedo Volcano erupted on the island of Isabela, the largest island of the Galapagos, lifting part of the ocean floor about 32 feet to reach the surface. This intriguing land is now known as Urvina Bay, and as you walk on these exotic shores, keep in mind you are walking on the remnants of once-sunken coral reefs, so be sure to notice the rock formations - coral heads of yesteryear. You'll also see colourful marine iguanas, turtles, seashells, and birds like the flightless cormorants.
