San Cristóbal Island, a historic gateway to the Galápagos, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and rich culture. Must-do experiences include savoring local dishes like ceviche de mero and visiting the stunning Las Tintoreras Islet. The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to November, when the weather is cooler and wildlife is particularly active.
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.
El Barranco (Prince Philip's Steps) on Genovesa Island offers one of the Galápagos' most immersive seabird experiences, with red-footed boobies nesting at eye level and short-eared owls hunting storm petrels across lava fields. Must-dos include ascending the volcanic cliff stairs and walking among thousands of nesting boobies and frigatebirds. June through November brings peak breeding activity, though different species nest year-round.
North Seymour Island, a gem within the Galápagos archipelago, is renowned for its remarkable biodiversity and stunning volcanic landscapes. Must-do experiences include hiking the island’s interior to witness nesting frigatebirds and snorkeling in nearby crystal-clear waters. The best season to visit is from June to December, when the weather is cooler and wildlife activity is at its peak.
Among the impressive new lava fields of Fernandina Island hides a cove surrounded by mangroves. 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. View less Snorkeling is as rewarding with some unique sightings as Marine Iguanas feeding on algae, or flightless cormorants diving for their prey.
Impressive Pahoehoe lava field that lies between two active volcanoes, Sierra Negra and Cerro Azul, on the south coast of Isabela Island. The rich waters of Cromwell current wash the shores, and as a result, you can see the largest marine iguanas of the archipelago basking on the rocks, flightless cormorants and Galapagos penguins diving for food. Snorkeling can be one of the coldest of the trip, but also one of the most rewarding experiences with good chances to see penguins “flying” underwater, Green Sea Turtles, and Marine Iguanas feeding. View less During the walk you will experience, as an oasis in a desert of lava, some coastal lagoons in the middle of the field, here you can find shorebirds such as White-cheeked Pintail Ducks, Black-necked Stilts and even sometimes Flamingos.
The Santa Cruz Highlands are the lush, misty interior of the Galápagos' most populated island, where wild giant tortoises roam freely through grasslands and scalesia forest above the arid coast. Must-dos include encountering giant tortoises at Rancho El Chato, visiting the Charles Darwin Research Station, and exploring volcanic lava tunnels. Visit June to December for the greenest landscapes and most active tortoises.
Gardner Bay on Española Island is one of the Galápagos' most spectacular wildlife beaches, where sea lions, marine iguanas, and Hood mockingbirds interact with visitors on pristine white sand. Essential experiences include snorkelling with playful sea lion pups and visiting the waved albatross colony at Punta Suárez. January through May offers warm water snorkelling; April through December brings the albatross breeding season.
