Tahiti Fiji Australia New Zealand Tonga Galapagos		Destinations - South Pacific - Galapagos    Giant Galapagos tortoises grunt   in distant highlands. Prehistoric   marine iguanas spit their salty   spray. Flightless cormorants and   tiny penguins dart through the   surrounding waters. Storm petrels   “walk” across its surface and   graceful red-billed tropicbirds   screech across the sky. A new   day in the Galapagos begins its wildlife symphony. With a Galapagos naturalist at our   side, we set out each day in the early morning and afternoon, to remarkable ecosystems   where the wildlife is most abundant and active. Inching our way past lounging iguanas and   sea lions, scouting for breaching whales offshore and pink flamingos at hidden lagoons,   we marvel at the strangeness of the Galapagos creatures on these desolate volcanic isles   much as Charles Darwin did nearly two centuries ago.    There are 13 major islands in the Galapagos archipelago which lies 600 miles from   mainland Ecuador. This incredibly special place is home to plant and animal species   whose ancestors floated or were blown there. Indigenous fauna lived without natural   predators and animals became virtually fearless. Even now, visitors can walk along trails   and pass within inches of numerous species which is in itself a unique experience. 90% of   the land surface and the entire ocean out to the national limits was designated a national   park in 1959 in order to preserve the original ecology   and to control the introduction of   new and potentially harmful species. You will see why Charles Darwin was so impressed   by the Galapagos islands.
