Not sure where you got 2 years, Darwin's notebooks (that he wrote while on the voyage) state that he was in the Galapagos for five weeks, and spent only nineteen days of those on shore.
dunno :) hope i helped! lol i think it was the galapagos islands :)
Excerpted:The Beagle was in the Galapagos for five weeks, from 15 September to 20 October 1835, and made a series of charts which were still in use by mariners in the 1940s. Darwin spent about nineteen days ashore, on Chatham Island (now San Cristobal) (Galapagos Notebook, p. 18b), Charles (now Floreana) (p. 34b), Albemarle (now Isabela) (p. 29a) and James (now Santiago) (p. 36b).As is well known, Darwin started to develop his theory of evolution by natural selection within two years of the Beagle's return to England in 1836
6 days
Yes, Charles Darwin did eat a tortoise during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. In the Galápagos Islands, he and his crew consumed tortoise meat, which was a common practice for sailors at the time due to its long shelf life and nutritional value. Darwin noted the experience in his writings, reflecting the scientific and exploratory nature of his journey.
He observed and recorded the native wild-life including finches, tortuses, marine and land iguanas. Surprisingly, Darwin also spent quite a lot of time shooting. He also took quite a lot of giant tortoises back on board the beagle to be used as food during the long return voyage ahead. Remember that he didn't formulate his thoughts on evolution until much later in life. Whilst he was actually in the Galapagos, he was there as a naturalist. A Victorian British naturalist whose methods nowadays would be considered disruptive and destructive. That's a reflection on the cultural and scientific norms of the time and not a personal slight on Darwin.

something to read on the long voyage to the Galapagos islands

If the question refers the the GALAPAGOS islands, the answer can be as long and complex as the archipelago is diverse. About 23% of wildlife in Galapagos is found nowhere else on the planet.

Charles Darwin was 22 years old when he went on the HMS Beagle.
The finches adapted to their available food on each island. If they ate only insects within trees, their beaks were long and pointed. If they ate seeds with a hard shell, their beaks became short and powerful. Darwin proved his theory of evolution based on the differences he observed among the finches on the different islands.
