The Galapagos Islands, Part 2
On Monday, I posted some photos from the Galapagos Islands. They were pretty. But I have so many good photos from my trip to the islands that simply posting one set of photos wouldn’t be enough. So here is a second batch of photos with more animals, landscapes, and a cool video:

sweet pictures… SIGH. the Galapagos Islands would be a dream come true.
random question: what camera do you use? (is it the same you use for your underwater shots?)
I use a Nikon S8100. A high end point and click.
nice ones
think i just added another destination to my list 
It’s definitely a destination that should be on everyone’s list.
Great pictures! I look forward seeing more…soon. =)
Jaw dropping! But was the experience on the island fun overall?
It was utterly amazing. Such beauty everywhere.
Takes me back to my trip to the Galapagos in 2010! I loved snorkeling with the turtles. Did you stay on a boat or did you take day trips?
I stayed on the boat for all 5 days and we just went to the various islands each day.
This is a dream trip for me and my two kids! I am putting money away now for my two girls, so that one day they can opt to take that money to travel around the world! Galapagos is one place we are all dreaming of going to (hopefully, GAP is still sending tours there, LOL!). Awesome pics, Matt!
Fantastic pictures ! With all this wildlife, we understand better why it’s in Galapagos Islands that Darwin was developing his Theory of Evolution.
Then my work here is done.
I’m going to the Galapagos in May with Gap. I’ve traveled with them before to Manchu Pichu as I hiked the Inca Trail back in 2009. Great company and I’m so excited for you to be part of their new program.
Thank you for the great pictures. I can’t wait to go an get a few booby pics myself. Travel safely. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures and hopefully one day, I can meet up with you on one of my trips as I’m planning to go to Antarctica later this year.
Have a great time with them! The trip was amazing. What boat are you going on?
