Visiting the Galápagos Islands is a dream trip! This Ecuadorian archipelago – a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety – is renowned for its pristine scenery, endemic wildlife and marine ecosystem. Although day trips from one of two islands are available, the best way to experience the Galápagos is aboard a small cruise ship with a five to seven day itinerary. The excursions above and below the water led by passionate naturalists will thrill you during every minute of your incredible journey. In this travel guide, you leave from Baltra Island – one of two islands with an airport – and visit North Seymour Island.
