The Galapagos Islands are famous for

• Out of this world landscapes;
• Crystal waters, teeming with life;
• World renowned diving destinations;
• World-class surf and;
• Fantastic Fishing ;
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (San Cristobal's main port) is the provincial capital and seat of local government - It features the province's best hospital, an airport right on the edge of town and the archipelago's only naturally occurring fresh water. At the same time it is unspoilt, with crystal clear waters and public access along the entire waterfront.
San Cristobal offers the archipelago's best surf, all the best offshore fishing banks and the best diving south of Darwin and Wolf islands (which are 200 miles north and accessible only by cruise).
