If you have a passion to see wildlife not on the list, by all means let us know and we''d be glad to advise you.

The Waved Albatross of the Galapagos Islands has a huge 2-2.5m wingspan, making it the largest bird on the Galapagos Islands.

The Andean Condor is one of the largest flying birds in the world, with a wing span of over 3 metres.

The national bird of Peru, the Cock-of-the-Rock has featured on stamps and in school text books in that country for decades. As is often the case with bird species, the males are the most striking in appearance, having brilliant orange or red plumage, with a disk-like cockade on the top of their heads.

Common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins are playful, gregarious animals, with common dolphins appearing to 'love' boats, and bottlenose most happily tolerating humans swimming amongst them. Dolphins are actually small, toothed whales.

The Giant Otter is the world's largest otter species, measuring up to 1.8m and weighing 32 kg. They live in the rivers and creeks of the Amazon, Orinoco and La Plata river systems. They live in family groups of up to 20 animals.

Jaguars can be found in a variety of habitats, ranging from temperate or subtropical forest to grassland, scrub woodland and savanna. They are powerfully built, with short, thick legs and have a bigger head, broader face and thicker, shorter tail than leopards.

Macaws are the largest members of the parrot family, and the 17 macaw species are amongst some of the most endangered bird species in the world. They are very sociable birds, living in groups of up to 100, and have a variety of habitats from tropical rainforest to savannah.

There are over 300 monkey species in the world, living in Africa, South and Central America and Asia. Although they vary hugely in size and colour, all are 'higher primates', with a larger brain than many other animals.

With their upright stance, distinctive black and white colouring and agility in the water, penguins are entertaining and enchanting to watch and - in warmer waters - to swim amongst.

For many, the sight of a single whale, or group of whales, is a moving, unforgettable experience. These giant creatures, which live entirely in the water but need to come to the surface to breathe, are quite simply awe-inspiring. The blue whale is the heaviest and longest animal on Earth.
