The reason why I chose to go on a cruise to the Galapagos Islands is my passion for bird-watching.
Birds and all animals for that matter never encountered hostile humans, so you can really come up close and personal with the animals you want to observe and take marvelous pictures (depending on your photography skills of course).
Galapagos Flycatcher
Just have a look at this Galapagos Flycatcher: couldn’t get any closer than that!
This Galapagos flycatcher (Myiarchus magnirostris) was exceptionally bold and curious. After first sitting on the hat of our Galapagos National Park Naturalist Guide, the flycatcher went and visited the heads of most of us.

Galapagos mapped globally
Galapagos is part of Ecuador, South America. The Galapagos islands are in the Pacific Ocean on Ecuador’s western Pacific Coast. Galapagos lies about 1000km away from the South American Continent, which makes it an ideal island group for Galapagos cruises..
