From Darwin’s famous finches to the Blue-footed Booby, the Galapagos Islands are a bird watchers’ paradise. Home to many species found no where else on earth, the islands provide an ideal habitat for a wide variety of entertaining and fascinating birds. Among them are the seemingly fearless Galapagos Hawk, the playful Galapagos Penguin and the camera-shy Red-footed Booby. 

Of the many Galapagos animals that call the islands home, few capture the imagination in the same way as the Blue-footed Booby. Drawn in by the bird’s dramatic courtship display, visitors get more than a front-row seat to one of nature’s most entertaining shows, they gain a unique glimpse of one of the Galapagos’ rare treasures.
