The islands are heaven for the marine life. Here they rule the air, land and ocean. Darwin's evolution has given birth to tons of animals only found here. We swam with sea-lions, turtles, manta-rays, marine iguanas on private uninhabited islands. Dolphins and whales chased our boat.
What struck me the most was the Giant Tortoise. They can weigh up to 300kg and are the world's longest living animals some of which have lived up to 175 years old.
The marine iguana is only found in the Galapagos and is the only such species which can swim and lives off algae in the ocean. They are reminiscent of Godzilla!
