Visitors should not miss the flamingo lagoon walk at dawn and the short trail to the turtle-nesting beach.

20. Day 9

    Prince Philip's Steps

    

    Genovesa is one of the northernmost islands of the archipelago. Genovesa’s southern side of the shield volcano’s crater collapsed and a protected bay known as Darwin Bay was formed. The island is often referred to as the “Bird Island” as the numbers and species of land and seabirds on Genovesa are quite extraordinary. There are two visitor sites, and Prince Philip’s Steps give access to the flat plateau above the bay. Named after Prince Philip who visited the Galapagos on two occasions, the “steps” are mostly natural. View less The steep cliffs are home to Red-billed Tropicbirds, while Magnificent Frigatebirds, Nazca and Red-footed Boobies prefer the top. The plateau above Prince Philip’s Steps has a palo santo forest and an extensive lava field. This is an area where one of the Galapagos’ top predators, the Short-eared Owl, is hunting storm petrels. The Short-eared Owls are extremely well camouflaged and are not always easy to spot in between the rocks.

    Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island is a pristine volcanic landscape in the Galápagos archipelago, where nineteenth-century pahoehoe lava flows create an otherworldly terrain of rope basalt, hornitos, and pioneer cacti framed by brilliant Sally Lightfoot crabs. The essential experience is a guided geological walk across the lava fields, complemented by Zodiac wildlife encounters along the shoreline. The Galápagos enjoys relatively stable weather year-round, though the warm season from January to May brings calmer seas and better snorkelling visibility, while the cooler garúa season from June to December offers more dynamic wildlife activity and nutrient-rich waters.

25. Day 11

A rewarding place for bird-watching as the bay is the point where the land meets the sea, joining the two environments, with sea birds, shorebirds and land birds all in the same place. The different species of mangroves: Red, White and Black, have formed a root system that serves as a nursery for many species of fish, including juveniles’ sharks and green sea turtles.
