Galapagos is an island caught in time. Prehistoric animals roam, swim, fly. A voyager there is in a time long ago, among animals unafraid of man. Walk and swim right among birds, sea lions, porpoises, tortoises, iguanas, sea turtles, rays and tropical fish. See ocean turtles lay eggs in the sand at dawn, and swim with fleets of rays gliding slowly past.
