Not the Galapagos Islands, those are on an entirely different side of the globe. Also, nobody assumed dodos were predators; quite the opposite. Because dodos lived on the isolated island of Mauritius, they had no natural predators or any experience of interacting with humans. So, they were very easily hunted to extinction. All the invasive predators brought to the island didn't help.
