Pitt Point (Sunday): Visit the spot where Darwin first saw the Galápagos, greeted by curious sea lions on a rare green sand beach. A short trail takes you through a ravine filled with nesting boobies and frigatebirds. End with snorkeling in clear, calm waters at this unique natural site.
Kicker Rock (Every day except Thursdays and Sundays): Explore this dramatic volcanic rock rising from the ocean off San Cristóbal Island. Snorkel through the channel between the rocks with a rich variety of marine life including sharks, turtles, rays, and sea lions. The towering rock is also home to nesting seabirds like boobies and frigatebirds.
Española (Thursdays): Walk on one of the oldest islands in the Galápagos, home to unique bird species including nesting waved albatrosses. Swim among sea lions, turtles, rays, and white-tipped sharks in vibrant waters. This island offers a fascinating glimpse into the archipelago’s natural history.
