Galapagos Adventure with Galapagos Exclusive Tours
Written By Sarah Lee

Teaming up with Alison’s Adventures, I jumped over to the remote Galapagos Islands to document the unique animals on land and sea, and meet with government officials and local communities to learn how they are preserving the Galapagos as one of the last pristine places on earth.
Hosted by Eddie Salazar at Galapagos Exclusive Tours, he took us to the most incredible places on San Cristobal Island, Isabela Island, and Santa Cruz Island. It’s not easy to access these nature and surf spots without a guide, and Eddie is the man, especially when it comes to surf.
Book your own Galapagos trip with Galapagos Exclusive Tours and Amangala Surf Tours.
Please note that these photos of the incredible wildlife in the Galapagos were taken with longer lenses, to respect the legal wildlife viewing distances.
