The Galapagos Islands have a worldwide reputation for being one of the premier wildlife areas in the world. What we saw and experienced on our nine day visit there was nothing short of amazing; pictures and text don't really do the whole experience much justice. However, as usual, we're going to try to relate what we saw through our photos, but this is a place that needs to be seen to be believed. Both above and below the water, the Galapagos Islands was unique in its diversity, multitude, and fearlessness of its wildlife.
