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 cruises and Antarctica Cruises

As a Geography-Biology teacher, I try to make my classes as real as possible.

Since I cannot take my students on a holiday, let alone a cruise, every so many years I go on a cruise myself, take as much pictures as I can, see as much and learn as much as possible in order to transform this in my classroom.

My favorite vacation was an Antarctica Cruise, but I got the most material (just because there is more life and diversity) in Galapagos.

This blog: "Galapagos cruises" shows my personal holiday to Galapagos and all my classroom material that could be interesting for your students as well!

Just that I am so busy, that this site will be slow but steady in the making
