GALAPAGOS ISLANDS: A NATURAL SELECTION!
A visit to the Galapagos Islands is the quintessential natural history experience. Aboard the 85-foot Flamingo Yacht you will visit these remote islands, scattered across the equator in the Pacific Ocean, species of plants, birds, reptiles, and marine organisms thrive; many of which live nowhere else on Earth. We invite you to explore the Galapagos, a living laboratory, where the wildlife roam freely, fearless of visitors.
Almost all the reptiles and half of the species of plants and birds found throughout the archipelago are found only here. Contemplate prehistoric land-iguanas, 600 pound giant tortoises, and 13 species of finches, each with a distinct beak adaptation which contributed to Darwinian theory of evolution.
As you sail from island to island you will snorkel amongst the shallow marine communities, familiarizing yourself with the abundant fish and marine invertebrate communities. With its rich history, wildlife, and significance as a global ecological landmark, this Galapagos experience promises to make this a quintessential study abroad program.
