Isabela Island Tour

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

Options

During booking, you can choose between two options starting from the port of Puerto Ayora, both with an English-speaking guide.

Isabela Island Tour

After meeting at the scheduled time, we'll set sail on a speedboat. Following a two-hour cruise, we'll arrive at Isabela Island, known for its volcanic activity and striking landscapes. Our first stop is Puerto Villamil, a town known for turtle breeding, where you may see several species of giant land tortoises, flamingos, and marine iguanas up close.

After visiting the turtles, we will have lunch at a local restaurant. Refreshed, we’ll head to Concha Perla, a beach surrounded by mangroves, home to sea lions and turtles swimming in the waters.

We will return to the speedboat after 11 hours of exploration!

Isabela Island Tour + Tintoreras Excursion

After meeting at the dock in Puerto Ayora, we will board the speedboat for a tour of Tintoreras Bay, known for white-tip sharks, Galapagos penguins, and blue-footed boobies. Here, we will snorkel in calm waters to see colorful reef fish and visit the islet of Tintoreras to observe sea birds.

Next, we’ll stop at Isabela Pier for lunch at a local restaurant, then continue exploring the island’s volcanic landscapes and ecosystem in Puerto Villamil, home to tortoises, flamingos, pelicans, and Galapagos penguins.

Finally, we will return to Santa Cruz after 11 hours.
