What it actually involves
Most wildlife travel is an exercise in patience and distance, spent waiting at a hide or watching a shape through glass.
The Galapagos inverts it. Nothing on these islands evolved alongside a predator that walked upright, so the animals treat you as scenery rather than threat, and the park caps groups at sixteen people per guide to keep it that way. What that buys is not a better photograph. It is the difference between observing an animal and standing in the middle of its ordinary day.
