Galapagos Islands
Tours
The Galapagos Islands are one of the most extraordinary wildlife destinations on Earth — a volcanic archipelago where giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and sea lions thrive in a protected ecosystem. Located about 1,000 km off the coast of Ecuador, the islands are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living laboratory of evolution.
At 2° Expeditions, we design carefully curated Galapagos journeys combining wildlife encounters, conservation, and authentic travel experiences.
