Tagus Cove, Isabela Island
Tendered: 3:00PM to 5:00PM

Composed of five coalesced volcanoes, Isabela is the largest island in the Galapagos and the most recently active, the latest eruption having occurred in 2015. Here we will see large land iguanas, finches, and if lucky, a giant tortoise or two. In 1954, the intrusion of magma below one of the island’s volcanoes caused part of the bay to be uplifted some 6 meters, and today we can walk through the remains of what was once a thriving underwater reef.

Egas Port, Santiago Island
Tendered: 7:30AM to 11:00AM

The half-collapsed remains of an ancient volcano make for a spectacular setting at this site.

Espumilla Beach (Santiago Island)
Tendered: 3:00PM to 6:00PM

Baltra Island, Galapagos

Sea lions and large land iguanas also roam about this rocky terrain. Excursion options include a guided long, rocky walk, zodiac ride and short easy walk, or simply just a scenic zodiac tour along the coast to view wildlife and the geology of the area.
