The Galapagos Island, located on the west coast of Ecuador,
has one of the last ecosystems in the world and it would be a mistake if you
miss out the Galapagos cruises and
get to know the Galapagos Island. The Galapagos
cruises are usually scheduled for eight days and it starts at the island
Baltra. You will be required pay $100 as entrance fees into the Galapagos
national park and some people may consider this amount to be high although this
amount is what helps in protecting the Galapagos island. You have three
different choices of Galapagos cruises
and each one differs in the equipment’s in the cruise ship, the on board
service and education of the crew. So depending upon your requirement of these Galapagos cruises, you can choose between
the tourist class, first class and luxury ships.
Every cruise has a specially educated guide who has a good
deal of knowledge about the islands and can also hook you up with interesting
fact s and details about the flora and fauna of the archipelago. You will be
able to explore the islands of the archipelago during the day and the cruise
ships drive during night and hence you can have all the rest you need at night and
continue with your excursions during the day. The island is very well known for
its beautiful volcano landscape and you will be finding a great variety of
animals out there and the ones that are going to fascinate you are the red and
blue footed boobies, the Galapagos turtles, sea lions, frigate birds and the iguanas.
You will might several others as well and the animals on this island are considered
to be special and their trusting character allows you to approach them closely
without any fear.
You will find Galapagos tours that can accommodate up to 3000 passengers and the current largest
cruise ship in the world can hold around 5400 passengers in addition to the
2165 crew members. The Galapagos cruises
will take you to a whole new realm and you will be able to experience that part
of the world that has been rarely touched by humans. Someone who admires nature
and love travelling should definitely consider making a trip to these islands
and they will have the best time of their life.
The spectacular national parks of the island never fail to
surprise you and the island has a wide variety of wildlife which you will never
get to see in any other part of the world. The Galapagos cruise ships takes you to every corner of this natural
extravaganza and the basic areas covered are the baltra island, Santa Cruz
Island, rabisda island, north Seymour island, san Cristobel island, Espanola
island and the floreana island. You can also explore Quito, Ecuador before you
ride off on the cruises and on the island, you get to experience some great stuff
which includes the hike on bartolome island, a panga ride to observe penguins,
iguanas, flamingos, ducks and lagoon birds all of which together adds up to
become a visual treat.
Thanks.
