Santa Cruz Galapagos Land Based Things to Do

Santa Cruz is the biggest island in the Galapagos and has one of the only international airports in the Galapagos Islands. Santa Cruz has so many things to do if you don't want to get on a cruise! Santa Cruz is home to the Charles Darwin Research Center and many of the famous Galapagos Giant Tortoises! In this episode we visit: Tortuga Bay - where you can find sharks, marine iguanas, sea lions, crabs, and many birds Charles Darwin Research Center - lots of Giant Tortoises (including the taxidermied Lonesome George in his very own display) and you can see the important conservation work being done in the Galapagos National Park.
