There is more to the Galapagos than gigantic tortoises.
There's the ocean water pool Las
Grietas, positioned between two tall cliffs on the central island of Santa Cruz.
"It was the most amazing experience I ever had," says user Belepv from Buenos Aires. "We could dive here and see the coral reef."
Belepv offers a tip: "Even if you can't swim you can ask for a life vest."
Visitors have to take a boat ride from the main dock on Santa Cruz to get to the creek.
Veterans suggest bringing your own snorkeling gear, but you can also rent equipment in Puerto Ayora. It's obvious why the Blue Lagoon is a hit in chilly Iceland, just south of the Arctic Circle. This naturally heated geothermal pool has a constant temperature of 40C (104F).
Even better, you don't have to leave the water to get a drink at the Lagoon's outdoor bar.
TripAdvisor user Ryan B from Atlanta, Georgia, agrees, "Drinking beer in a geo-thermal spa? YES!"
And RachelRaven from Quincy describes the experience as "like bathing on the moon."
