| A visit to the islands of the Galapagos are on the wishlist of anyone interested in wild life, whether on terra firma or under water. Giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies and vampire finches wait on land. Sharks, sea-lions, batfish and turtles are just some of the animals waiting for divers to see. Tony Backhurst Scuba Travel is organising a number of escorted trips, the first of which departs at the end of February. Using the luxurious Galapagos Aggressor fleet as both accommodation and transport, these 14-night trips cost£3100. |
