You could visit the Galapagos and not walk at all, but it would be pretty
bleak. The islands are rock-strewn and probably not friendly to bad legs.
The trips I know of are by boat, too, and getting on land isn't always easy.
I hate to discourage you, but my knees are no longer good, and I don't think
I'd go back.
Still, it's probably possible to stay on the zodiak and do your sightseeing
from the water. That's where the critters hang out anyhow, so it would be
your tolerance for not going ashore that would make or break a trip. I'm
sure you can find the various cruise operators online, and one of them must
surely offer an alternative for people with mobility problems.
Good luck! The Galapagos Islands are certainly one of the world's most
unusual destinations, but not that friendly to bad legs.
