The Galapagos Islands have become famous worldwide for their unique wildlife and hauntingly beautiful landscape. Nicknamed "The Enchanted Isles" by pirates who used to frequent their rocky shores in the 18th century, the Galapagos have been gaining popularity as an adventure-filled vacation spot since their opening to organized tourism in the mid 1960's. Galapagos should be one of the seven wonders of the world, and is definitely a "must-see" for every traveler at some point. This naturalist paradise is not only a major attraction for the inveterate nature-lover, but also for the general traveler, the photographer and the diver who seek something unique. For Galapagos, despite the steady but controlled flow of tourists over the years, is unique: nowhere else can the forces of nature be observed so starkly, and the wildlife seen in its pristine state without the fear of man.

The Cooks are largely unspoiled by tourism. They offer a rare opportunity for people from the cities of the world to experience a different type of vacation. There are no high-rise hotels, only four beach buggies and very little hype. Ideal for travellers seeking more than the usual clichés associated with the South Seas, each island has its unique qualities and offers the visitor a special experience
