This is one of the coolest things I've ever read. Must've been incredible to experience firsthand!

11/10 recommend. We did a cruise that hopped between islands and I'll never forget it. swimming with sea lions, hanging out with boobies (blue footed, nasca), really cool hawks, crabs, iguanas, and my favourite the frigate birds! They look like dinosaurs and have nearly a 6 foot wing span and will hover inches above your head near your boat, they're so cool!

Cruising is a way to visit some of the most pristine and spectacular places on earth, and we hear a lot about how flying is bad for the climate, right? Right. But what if I told you that even the most efficient cruise ships emit more carbon dioxide per passenger kilometer (CO2/pax-km) than a passenger jet? Link

"The Galapagos Islands is one of the major vulnerable global hotspots to environmental and climatic change" Link

Maybe not 11/10 recommend
