Travellers explore the islands and its remarkable inhabitants with different modes of transportation. Meet the famous giant tortoises, go kayaking to look for blue-footed boobies, snorkel among penguins, dolphins and manta rays and climb to the islands’ highest point for a world-class view on this spectacular archipelago.
