Management and conservation of the Galįpagos National Park is discussed, and visitor information and notes about the various tourist sites are given. An index and checklist of plants and animals with page references and a glossary of technical terms are provided.

The book is more than a simple guide, it contains information gleaned from the extensive literature existing on the Galįpagos Islands, combining it with first-hand experience of the author, who worked in the archipelago as a naturalist guide and as a zoologist.
—Marinus Hoogmoed
Jackson tells delightful little stories through this unusual natural history guide. This is unusual because it's so uplifting. The Galįpagos Islands are a place of wonder, with such rich, abundant wildlife and natural history that readers will yearn to experience them first-hand and not just through a book. But this guide will do for a start. [Here] is the kind of book that belongs in every nature lover's library.
—Margaret Mironiwicz, The Globe and Mail
