Highlights

  • Snorkel with sea turtles, cormorants and fish at Moreno Point
  • See land iguanas and possibly giant tortoises at Urbina Bay
  • Meet the flightless cormorant at espinoza Point
  • Rabida Island is unique because of its red colour

Our adventurous 4 nights route runs around the largest island of Isabela. Explore the untouched western end of Galapagos, which has just been born out of fire and the lush highlands. Nutrient rich ocean upwellings are a magnet to all kinds of marine and birdlife. It’s true that accessing this remote, less-frequented region demands longer navigation (mainly overnight), but our stable catamaran enables you to witness Survival of the Fittest, without experiencing it.
