Surely one of the most amazing places on Earth, these islands are perhaps the only place in the world where you can see wildlife so close up. The lack of large predators on the island group (which sits 600 miles from the mainland) means animals are fearless of humans allowing for a truly unique experience.

For those not wishing to take a cruise (or simply to spend a few days relaxing before or after) There are some great hotel options to choose from on the islands.
