with the amazon add on is the type trip. 7 days in the Galapagos.

Well, there goes that neighborhood. It's really too bad tourism is
allowed there.

Do not judge everybody else by your actions.

Just goes to show how myopic and ill informed harry is. The tourism in the
Galapagos is the reason that the Equadorian government can maintain the
islands in the conditon they are in.

For those that are not aware........you are charged a $100.00 U.S entrance
fee to the islands, tours are strictly limited to the approved boats etc,
naturalists accompany all outings and you must stay on the marked trails.
Islands are opened and closed to prevent any overburden on any particular
island....the boats and tours have little/no say in which islands are open
and closed. If you arrive by private boat the fees are much high and they
must have an appoved naturalist the entire time they are there. The money
raise from the entrance fees etc support the preservation of the islands and
their widelife, including the Darwin Center where there is a major effort
being made to restore the tortise population, as well as ridding the islands
of the non native species.
