Of the thousands of species that call the Galapagos Islands home, the Galapagos Giant Tortoise is undoubtedly one of the most well-known, sought-after attractions.
Symbolic of the islands’ fragile biodiversity, the Galapagos Giant Tortoise has persevered despite a series of threats. Poaching depleted their numbers significantly in the 19th century and introduced species continue to pressure the remaining population. Despite these challenges, conservation efforts are in place to preserve these enigmatic reptiles for generations to come.
No Galapagos vacation is complete without an encounter with a Galapagos Giant Tortoise, and Galapagos family tours offer ample opportunities to see these rare and gentle giants up close.
For more scaly and slithery attractions, Galapagos family tours introduce visitors to a variety of other endemic Galapagos reptiles, including the one-and-only marine iguana and snakes and geckos unique to the Galapagos.
In addition to its diverse reptile populations, the Galapagos Islands are home to a variety of mammals, birds, fish, insects and invertebrates.
