    The Galapagos Islands have been a dream destination for me ever since I first heard about them as a kid. The thought of swimming amongst sea lions and hammerhead sharks in one of the richest marine ecosystems on the planet put this destination right at the top of my bucket list.
    Due to how remote and hard to access these islands are I always assumed that it would be a trip for when I was 'older'... however, after hearing that Contiki offered trips to The Galapagos I jumped on the opportunity right away and made this dream a reality.
    I hope you enjoy the video. Subscribe for more travel videos and I'll see you in the next one!
