Galapagos Islands Isabela (Albemarle)

  • Isabela

The island has five active volcanoes linked by arid, twisted lava flows.  Its cliffs and bays are ideal for exploration by boat and for hikes, and snorkelling is top-notch here.

Overview

The large, youthful island has five active volcanoes linked by twisted lava flows, bald of soil or vegetation. Its craggy cliffs and sandy speckled bays are ideal for exploration by boat and for coastal hikes. Puerto Villamil, its only village, has a tortoise breeding centre and a flamingo-filled lagoon. Tagus Cove is a natural harbour where pirates and whalers carved their ships’ names on the rocks, while the coral reef at Urbina Bay is a magnet for marine creatures. Punta Vicente Roca is the site of an ancient volcano and is one of the best marine sites to visit by boat or snorkelling.
