here are few eco-adventure cruises in the
world, on par with those in the Galapagos
Islands. With extraordinary wildlife, vibrant fi sh,
azure waters, plus a swag of volcanoes, the
Galapagos is quite simply, 'amazing'. Add to this a
small cruise ship like the M/Y Eric with fi ne food and
wine, enthusiastic nature guides, and you have an
outstanding trip.
Ecuador is a gateway to the Amazon, so after
Galapagos, you can go on, to explore the cloud
forests and jungles, using a string of superb nature
and bird watching lodges.
My son Chris and I, experienced the Galapagos
together, showing, it is bucketlist adventure for
all generations. He loves snorkeling, so we spent
as much time as we could in the water. You can
imagine our excitement at playing with marine
Iguanas, Sea Lions and even Hammerhead Sharks
underwater.
Frigate Birds puff their
red balloon-like throat
pouches, while Sea Lions
frollicked in the shallows,
just magical.
