My shoes match the blue-footed boobie!


Blue-footed Boobie
... Did you know ...
The boobies are the awkward but endearing mascot of the Galapagos
10,000 pair (about 30% of the world's population) nest in the islands
Males & females have the famous neon blue feet
The only way to tell them apart is by the size of the pupil (smaller in males) 


Celebrity Xpedition
... Did you know ...
It's the newest ship allowed into the fabled waters of the Galapagos
Limited to only 92 passengers
Staff of 60



Giant Tortoise
... Did you know ...
Are the largest in the world
They are only found in the Galapagos Islands and in the Seychelle Islands off the coast of Tanzania


Marine Iguanas
... Did you know ...
Anywhere from 200,000 to 300,000 marine iguanas inhabit the Galapagos
They feed for about an hour every day, always at low tide
Bright coloring (on the neck and chest) attract females during the dry season
