SITE OVERVIEW

Spend your time exploring the richness of Elizabeth Bay by boat, observing the wide variety of wildlife in this location on the western side of Isabela Island. Marvel as you make your way through mangroves to a group of islets where Galapagos penguins and blue-footed boobies congregate. The cooler waters off the west coast of Isabella attract the archipelago’s largest colonies of penguins to this site. Photograph endemic species like marine iguanas, some of the largest species of iguana found in the Galapagos, due to the abundant supply of algae. And finally for any bird enthusiasts, spot herons and flightless cormorants in the surrounding area.
