Fernandina Island & Isabela Island tour offers one of the most rewarding & recommended Galapagos trips, taking you through some of the most fascinating areas on both islands. Beginning your tour from Puerto Villamil, cruise westwards towards seahorse-shaped Isabela, where you'll snorkel along its cliffs to spot wildlife. With this tour, you can enjoy Galapagos Cormorant 8 day itinerary.
Volcanic landscapes here are incredible, with evidence of black lava flows evident nearly everywhere. This volcano is among the world's most active, with numerous spectacular eruptions occurring regularly, and being home to some of Galapagos marine iguanas with darkest hues as well as Flightless Cormorants and Galapagos penguins!
Volcanoes and geology play an integral part in island culture, where you'll find plenty of captivating visitor sites devoted to them. Sierra Negra Volcano stands out as an outstanding tourist destination; visitors can hike its impressive 10 km-wide calderas. On the northeastern corner, Volcan Chico allows visitors to traverse relatively recent lava flows while taking in breathtaking vistas of nearby islands.
Urbina Bay was once an ocean-floor lake before volcanic uplifts scattered its contents millions of years ago. Here you'll be treated to breathtakingly clear waters filled with an amazing diversity of corals and other calcareous organisms exposed to air while also giving visitors an excellent opportunity to spot sea lions, land iguanas, as well as possibly even giant tortoises!
Elizabeth Bay on Isabela's eastern coast offers visitors an opportunity to view even more wildlife, from sea turtles, penguins, and penguins to herons and rays. These rocky islets can be explored via dinghy or panga rides - perfect for viewing all these different creatures!
There are a host of other noteworthy attractions on this island, such as the Wall of Tears - an immense wall composed of black lava boulders built by mainland convicts during their imprisonment in the 40s and 50s - which you'll have the opportunity to learn about during your tour.
Other highlights of your visit may include a flamingo lagoon and a breeding center for sea tortoises. Furthermore, take a walk through mangroves to spot flamingoes, gallinules, and whimbrels before enjoying a meal on-site!
Bolivar Channel between Isabela and Fernandina is one of the top spots for whale-watching in the archipelago, where dolphins and orca whales may even make appearances! If you're lucky, dolphins and orca whales might even make appearances!
Land iguanas and tortoises can also be seen roaming freely throughout Galapagos, while flightless cormorants have made themselves at home here, too. Although these birds initially arrived by flying, there are now adapting so well they have developed strong hind legs to allow for their adaptation onto these islands that they no longer possess wings!
