Santa Fe

Beautiful Santa Fe is one of the most attractive spots within the Galapagos. A walking trail leads to spectacular views of the blue waters, and endemic Santa Fe land iguanas often block your path on route!

Floreana

Historically fascinating, Floreana has a chequered history and was home to pirates, buccaneers and convicts. In later years the fertile soils attracted whalers, who set up 'post office' for ships to collect letters to transport to England. It is still operational today, so you can drop off a postcard or two in the wooden barrel. Although this was the first island inhabited by man, it is also home to a vast amount of wildlife. Giant tortoises have been extinct since 1840, but green turtles still nest on the beach near Punta Cormorant from December to May, and the salt lagoon is home to greater flamingos and stilts. Devil's Crown is a volcanic crater and snorkelling spot, which is a nesting site for blue footed boobies and frigate birds. During mating season blue footed boobies perform their famous courtship dance and the male frigate puffs its bright red neck to attract mates.

North Seymour

North Seymour is a tiny island located above central Santa Cruz and Baltra. It was formed by a seismic uplift, and is flat with small rugged cliffs. A forest of low bushy vegetation covers the island, which home to flocks of swallow-tailed gulls, blue-footed and Nazca boobies, magnificent frigate birds and marine iguanas. You'll also see Galapagos land iguanas, which have been reintroduced following their extinction. It is one of the best destinations to visit during the mating season as you will see the inflated red pouches of the frigate bird proudly being displayed.

Sombrero Chino (Chinese Hat)

Resembling a pointed hat, vegetation is just beginning to develop on this volcanic island. A trail to the beach may allow sightings of the elusive Galápagos penguin, while the cliffs are full of scuttling orange sally-lightfoot crabs. Only small boats are allowed to stop at Sombrero Chino, as the lava is fragile and can break underfoot.

Genovesa

Genovesa, or 'bird' island, is one of the prettiest and most impressive islands in the Galapagos. Boats usually sail through the opening in the huge caldera, and approach the curved white sand bay of Darwin's Bay. Here you are inundated with thousands of birds nesting in the salt bushes and seals playfully frolicking along the shore. If you are lucky, you may see a short eared owl after climbing Prince Phillip's Steps. The arid interior is teaming with birds and clouds of diverse species can be seen swooping overhead.
