"Sir David Attenborough begins the story on the Galapagos Islands, among massed ranks of marine iguanas. Stunning thermal imagery reveal how these lizards bask in the sun until they are as warm as he is, and then pour like hot golden lava into the cold sea as the heat they have accumulated powers their dives."
As well as marine iguanas, the giant tortoises of the Galapagos also star in this 5-part series, and part of the filming took place at the Charles Darwin Research Station where David Attenborough discussed the plight of Lonesome George with Felipe Cruz, the Director of Technical Assistance at the CDF.
Discovery Initiatives (DI) is not only one of the original nature tour operators to operate in the Galapagos islands but still has some of the most distinctive cruises, including its 10 day cruise, and each year raises over £10K to fund an important part of the research at the Charles Darwin Research Centre.
You can enjoy the Galapagos on one of DI’s own chartered 10 day cruises in aid of the Darwin Foundation, or the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, or as a tailormade cruise on one of a range of specially selected small boats.
Enjoy the Beagle sailing boat from 29th April for 8 day cruise from only £1895pp including flights to/from Quito to Galapagos or join DI’s inclusive 10 day cruise in November from the UK for £4685pp.
