Mini Godzilla. The Marine Iguana is native to the Galápagos Islands. They are the only lizard to have adapted to living and foraging in the ocean

The Galapagos Islands are one of the most extraordinary wildlife destinations in the world. Here, every journey offers a chance to witness Mother Nature in its purest form. Conscious travellers want to experience a trip that goes beyond sightseeing. They seek meaningful and sustainable adventures that protect fragile ecosystems, respect wildlife, and align with their personal values. This is where the eco-friendly plant-based group trip to the Galapagos Islands takes place, as it combines ethical dining, sustainable travel, and responsible tourism. 

As a traveller, it allows you to explore one of the most biodiverse regions of the planet while reducing your environmental footprint and encouraging conservation efforts. In this blog, we will explore why this plant-based eco-tour continues to attract eco-conscious travellers.

"Marine iguanas, endemic to the Galapagos, are one of the most iconic species in the archipelago," says de Frias. "They are like miniature dragons, especially in low-angle eye-to-eye portraits like this one. This individual was resting on the black rocks of Santa Cruz Island, sunbathing after a foraging dive. By sheer luck, I photographed the split-second in which it was sneezing the excess salt it had absorbed during its dive. Sneezing is not a discomfort signal; it is a perfectly natural behaviour. I made sure not to disturb the animal, shooting from a very safe distance, using a 600mm lens."
