  • PDF

14 November 2011 - If you are a marine life enthusiast then the Island of Galapagos is one of the most perfect yachting destinations for you to visit. The wonderful marine life that can be found in this island is one of the reasons why people often ride their yachts to enjoy their vacation and to have a 360 degree view of the clear water, the scenery and the various marine species that they can see along their way.

Another reason why you should visit the Island of Galapagos on your next vacation is that you can experience the lush green forest that awaits you. This jewel island is located along the equator and is 600 miles off the west coast of South America.
 
The weather in the Island of Galapagos is cold and breezy. Frequent drizzles throughout the year are possible due to the Humboldt Current which also makes the water in the island cold. However, the island can be cold but you can expect sunny days too, an even more perfect reason to visit the island’s different treasures.
 
One of the best location to visit here is the Galapagos National Park, 90 percent of the island is considered the park itself. This park works with the Charles Darwin Research Station, their common goal is to preserve and conserve the natural resources than are found in the island. 
 
You can also enjoy the Galapagos Marine Reserve, for those who love and have a soft spot for marine lives. Here, you will be welcome by the fascinating and wonderful ecological system. The animals that can be found in the island are dependent of the ocean and the waters are home to around 3000 marine species, both plants and animals.
 
While chartering in this island, you can also enjoy having fresh and sumptuous lobster and other seafood to your heart’s content. One thing that you need to keep in mind is that the government of Galapagos is very strict with the island conservation, one reason why you can’t bring food while you’re touring the island.
 
Be amazed with the Island of Galapagos, enjoy the sunset where you can see the sun setting at its finest. Get to see the soft burning of the skies during the late afternoon just before the skies turn glittery black. See the different hues of greens, blues, browns and black during the day. This vacation will be one of the best you’ll have, not to mention if you are thinking of chartering a yacht for that special experience.
