Discover the largest Galapagos island on this day trip to Isabela Island and explore a paradise of volcanic landscapes, turquoise seas, and wildlife.

Options

During the booking process, select between two options starting at the port of Puerto Ayora, both with an English-speaking guide.

Isabela Island Tour

After meeting at the specified time, we will set sail on our speedboat. After a two-hour cruise, we'll arrive on Isabela Island, the largest island in the Galapagos archipelago. First, we'll visit Puerto Villamil, known for its breeding grounds for turtles, with opportunities to view various species of giant tortoises, flamingos, and marine iguanas.

Afterward, enjoy a lunch at a local restaurant. We'll then proceed to Concha Perla, a small beach surrounded by mangroves, where sea lions and turtles swim in the waters. The adventure lasts approximately 11 hours before returning to Santa Cruz.

Isabela Island Tour + Tintoreras Excursion

Meet at the dock in Puerto Ayora to board the speedboat for a tour of Tintoreras Bay, home to white-tip sharks, Galapagos penguins, and blue-footed boobies. Snorkel in the calm waters to see colorful reef fish closely and visit the islet of Tintoreras for seabird observation.

Afterward, we will go to Isabela Pier for food at a local restaurant. Explore the volcanic landscapes and ecosystem of Puerto Villamil, with tortoises, flamingos, pelicans, and Galapagos penguins, before returning to Santa Cruz after 11 hours.
