Española Island

DAILY TOUR TO ESPAÑOLA AND GARDNER ISLAND

THE ESPAÑOLA ISLAND IS CLOSED BY ORDERS OF THE GALAPAGOS NATIONAL PARK

DEPARTURE TIME: 7:00 AM

RETURN TO PIER: 5:30 PM

A Galapagos National Park Naturalist Guide will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and take you to the tourist pier. There we will board the yacht and navigate two hours to Española Island.

Located south of San Cristobal, Española is one of the oldest islands in the archipelago. Here we will walk for about two hours in order to observe marine iguanas, blue-footed and masked boobies nesting and, in season (May-Dec), we will be able to see the majestic albatross that fly from the mainland to nest here.

After enjoying lunch on board the yacht we’ll navigate 30 minutes to Gardner Island where we can snorkel with sea turtles, sea lions, rays, and many colorful fish.

From here we navigate two hours back to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and the tour will end at the dock.
