Wildlife highlights:
Española Island is one of the most extraordinary wildlife destinations in the Galapagos archipelago. As the oldest island in the region, it hosts unique ecosystems and some of the most iconic species found nowhere else on Earth.
The island is particularly famous for the waved albatross, a magnificent seabird that nests almost exclusively on Española.
Visitors can experience dramatic cliffs, seabird colonies and exceptional marine life in the waters surrounding the island.
This full-day expedition from San Cristóbal Island takes you to the remote and wildlife-rich Española Island. Throughout the journey, you will explore dramatic volcanic landscapes, encounter incredible seabird colonies and enjoy snorkeling in crystal-clear waters.
Our adventure to this pristine paradise begins at Punta Cevallos, one of the most spectacular wildlife sites on Española Island and a highlight of this unforgettable Española Island tour.
A scenic 40-minute hike takes you through dramatic volcanic landscapes where nature performs at its best. Along the trail, you may spot the famous Waved Albatross, Nazca boobies, swallow-tailed gulls and tropical seabirds.

After a short 5-minute walk, you will discover panoramic views and one of the most peaceful beaches in the archipelago. Surrounded by dramatic coastal landscapes and turquoise waters, this remote beach offers a moment to truly connect with the wild beauty of the Galápagos Islands.
The adventure continues in the water, where you will have the opportunity to snorkel in crystal-clear conditions, surrounded by colorful fish, rays, sea turtles and starfish.
