There are not many global travel destinations that rival South America. Travelers to this great continent are often wowed by the diverse mix of nature and culture. If heading over to Ecuador for your vacation, you might want to choose a Galapagos tour package that covers the following islands, preferably over 8 days.

These islands are stunningly beautiful and serve as a paradise for sea lions and nesting birds. The frequent changes from land to marine touring will certainly give you an appreciation of the immense beauty and power of nature. Regardless of what you pay, you will certainly enjoy a memorable experience and one that is worth the money.

Upon your arrival in Quito, the capital, your tour agency should organize for a pick up from the airport to a hotel. The capital sits on a valley, with most 5 star hotels perched atop the hills on the edges. The hotels here feature traditional Ecuadorian cuisine among other international dishes.

Many flights heading to the countryside and coastal areas depart first thing in the morning. Your departure time will depend on what your agency has planned for you. Most probably, your first stop will be San Cristobal. Once in the vicinity of the islands, you will certainly spend the rest of your itinerary living and exploring them in a yacht.

The views of the archipelago are certainly something to behold. They give you an idea of the volcanic history of the islands. Just close to this location is the Lobos Island. It is famous for its large population of sea lions. Hundreds of them line up the rocky shores as they bask in the sun. As they are harmless, this may be the opportunity to take that potentially viral wildlife selfie you have always wanted.

To the northeast lies the Boobies of Punta Pitt. This name does not come as a surprise as the location is home to lots of nesting boobies. Take some time to watch them hop from rock to rock. Their colored feet give them away from a distance.

The Cerro Brujo, which prides itself as being the most pristine beach in the archipelago, would be perfect to spend the afternoon at. Its sprawling white sands are perfect for sunbathing. Cap your day with a dip in the turquoise water.

Next, proceed to the Genovesa Island. It lies far up north. Over 2 million birds call it home. It has long served as a breeding area for migratory species. Some birds you will see include gulls, Galapagos doves, boobies and storm petrels.

Your tour should come to an end with a visit to the islands of Santiago, North Seymour, Santa Cruz and Isabella. These islands are famed for their vast populations of iguanas, tortoises, crabs, seabirds and dolphins. Once through touring, you will head back to the city to catch an international flight back home.

Your travel firm can make your tour memorable or ruin it. Only engage trustworthy ones. Ultimately, your hard earned money should not go to waste.
