San Cristobal Island, another jewel of the crown, is founded on the east of the archipelago. Its area is 558 sq km (347 sq mi) and its high is 730m (2,395 ft). The island holds the biggest fresh water lake of the archipelago called El Junco. The capital of the Galápagos was the first island visited by Charles Darwin. Our guests can explore Rosa Blanca Bay which is distinguished by having a few small beaches. Its main place is the large beach in the center of the small bay where in combination with crystal-clear waters create spectacular scenery. The closest island to the Ecuador mainland is one of the two only places where red-footed, blue-footed, and Nazca can be found in a nesting colony in Punta Pitt. There, two species of frigatebirds are also present, as are swallow-tailed gulls and storm petrels. It allows you the opportunity to swim and snorkel next to sea turtles, rays, and sea lions on the Sardina Bay which includes two beaches whose attractions are its small white sand dunes together with its crystalline waters. Cerro Brujo also invites to enjoy its impressive landscape including migratory birds, marine iguanas, as well as other marine specimens. Travelers will find Kicker Rock named for its characteristic shape of a sleeping lion. It offers best booby view and sea lions line the shore. It is an excellent location for snorkeling and diving: manta rays, sea turtles, and hammerhead sharks often spotted.

Die Insel ist toll. Der Guide hat alles super erklärt! Pinguine und Seelöwen direkt neben uns beim Schnorcheln! Großartig

By Cornelia T for BARTOLOME DAY TOUR on Nov 23, 2023

Es war ein toller Ausflug! Der Guide war großartig, das Boot Windrose spektakulär und die 2 Inseln toll. Vögel, Leguane, Seeroben, Krabben- der Ausflug ist sehr zu empfehlen 👍👍👍

By Cornelia T for NORTH SEYMOUR & SOUTH PLAZAS DAY TOUR on Nov 23, 2023

Get ready to see amazing fish,turtles, sharks in this deep water snorkelling. One of the most amazing fish I have seen and I was nervous at start but very soon the guide made me feel comfortable and I was snorkeling on my own. Two great snorkeling opportunities. We saw blue footed boobies. Delightful. The boat ride is rough but worth it. Again Galapagos path and Jorge was so good to deal with. He arranged a pick up and drop from our hotel, was so helpful with our every need. I will be recommending Galapagos path to all my friends and family.

By Sarah C for FLOREANA CORMORANT POINT DAY TOUR on Nov 02, 2023

An amazing day out to the island. I will give Galapagos path all the credit. They took care of every detail. Jorge was fantastic and it was my first time snorkeling and it was a good introduction to it. Jorge set us up with wet suits etc. pick up and drop to our hotel etc. the boat was beautiful.
