    The snorkeling was great; we saw seahorses, octopuses, sharks, turtles, manta rays, and all kinds of fish. While we were out, we saw blue-footed sharks. The guide, Alexis, was a great guide, and the crew was also very friendly. Since the water is very cold, they rent wetsuits for you. The food was delicious.

Isabela Island Tours & Activities | Unforgettable Galapagos Adventures

Isabela Island is the largest of the Galápagos archipelago, boasting pristine beaches, unique wildlife, and dramatic volcanic landscapes that will captivate any traveler. This paradise offers visitors the chance to see giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. Nature lovers and adventure seekers alike will find countless activities to enjoy, from snorkeling to hiking across volcanic terrain.

A brief look at its origins

Formed by the merger of six volcanoes, some of which are still active today, the island has a rugged landscape shaped by thousands of years of volcanic activity. Its unique environment supports many endemic species, making it a key site for conservation and scientific research in the Galápagos.

Best time to visit

The climate is pleasant all year round, but each season has its charms. From June to December, cooler waters attract rich marine life, making it ideal for snorkelers and divers. The warmer months between January and May offer calmer seas and lush vegetation, perfect for exploring on land.

How do I get there?

Most travelers reach the island by taking a flight to Baltra or San Cristóbal, followed by a speedboat or small plane. There are no direct international flights, so it’s best to arrange transfers ahead of time.

Can I see giant tortoises in the wild?

Yes! The island is home to several tortoise breeding centers and natural reserves where you can observe these gentle giants up close in their natural habitat.
