The Galapagos tortoise is one of the most iconic species of the Galapagos Islands, drawing nature lovers, adventurers, and tourists alike. As the largest living tortoise species, these creatures symbolises the rich biodiversity and delicate ecosystems of the islands, making them a highlight of eco-tourism experiences.

There are many subspecies of giant tortoises that are found on different islands and have different appearances. Those that live on the larger islands where there is more rain have “dome” shaped shells, while those that live in drier conditions are smaller tortoises and have a “saddleback” shell.
