The first Galapagos Island we set foot on was Island Baltra. Unlike in Antarctica, where you first impression is: gosh: what a smell (penguin droppings…), in Galapagos your are struck by the diversity of animals "just minding their own business".
What I will never forget and what sets the stage for your whole Galapagos vacation was the sea lion coming to greet us!
Sea lion’s welcome on Galapagos!
2 things are special on Galapagos:
- you are only allowed with very tiny groups on each and every island at one time, so it’s all but mass-tourism
- the animals just come to you in stead of you needing to wait hours in order to see a glimpse in the distance!
It’s just unforgettable!!!

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
