Beskrivning
Discover Isabela on a day trip from Santa Cruz. See giant tortoises, explore Tintoreras' volcanic landscape, spot wildlife, and snorkel in the waters of the Galápagos.
Set off early from Puerto Ayora and experience two sides of the Galápagos in one day, traveling from Santa Cruz to Isabela to explore its wildlife, landscapes, and marine environment.
Begin with an inter-island boat journey across the archipelago to Isabela. After arriving, discover the island's terrestrial side with a visit to the Giant Tortoise Breeding Center. Learn about the conservation work carried out to protect these iconic Galápagos reptiles and get a closer look at the important role these programs play in their preservation.
Continue through the Wetlands, where Isabela's volcanic landscape meets lagoons and coastal vegetation. Visit Flamingo Lagoon and keep an eye out for birds and other wildlife as you explore this distinctive ecosystem.
After the morning activities, take a break and enjoy an included lunch before heading toward the coast for a completely different perspective of Isabela.
In the afternoon, explore Tintoreras Islet, a small volcanic islet just off Puerto Villamil. Walk along its trails through lava formations and visit the natural channel known for whitetip reef sharks resting in its shallow waters. Along the way, look for marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, sea turtles, Galápagos penguins, and other native wildlife that may be present.
Then, get into the water for a snorkeling experience in an authorized area around Tintoreras. With snorkeling equipment provided, discover Isabela's marine environment and the wildlife that may be encountered beneath the surface.
Finish your adventure with the boat journey back to Santa Cruz, taking with you a full-day experience that brings together giant tortoise conservation, wetlands, volcanic scenery, wildlife watching, and snorkeling in one of the Galápagos Islands' most remarkable settings.
Wildlife sightings depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed. The order and timing of activities may vary due to weather, sea conditions, operational requirements, or Galápagos National Park regulations.
