Boobies, Tortoises and Sealions – oh my! Galapagos

No one is more excited to hit land and start looking for the famed animals of the Galapagos Islands than Tasha. A huge animal enthusiast, Tasha is willing to walk, bike and swim every inch of the Galapagos to find the sea lions, marine iguanas, tortoises, blue-footed boobies, frigates and more.

In a quest for these unusual animals, the Cheeky Monkey crew drive up to a volcanic lake and cycle down to a tortoise sanctuary and the stunning little beach of Puerto Chino. They pick up another crew member for a few days and sail onwards to Santa Cruz, the main hub of the Galapagos Islands. From Santa Cruz, Tasha and Ryan take a motor boat tour to North Seymour Island where Tasha finds herself in animal heaven as they visit the bird sanctuary and hang out with hundreds of blue-footed boobies, cormorants and frigates.

Come along for this animal-packed journey through the Galapagos, a stunning set of islands that the Cheeky Monkey crew were thrilled to explore. Enjoy.

    Thank you again for a good, funny video.
    We are regular follower on your page because it’s ma good and informative.
    Anyway just want to tell you that your doing a great job and hope to follow you for long and who knows maybe meet one day. Me and my wife’s dream is the same as the one your right now living. To sell everything and buy a catamaran and live-aboard. We are right now in the education stage, have the RYA dayskipper theory ready and in 1,5 weeks we are doing the RYA Dayskipper practical in Malta. We suppose it’s just our cat Odin the Pirate who is not happy about the idea.
    Best regards Patrik, Diana and Odin the Pirate
