San Cristóbal is the oldest inhabited island in the Galápagos and home to the capital Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. First encounters with the Galápagos ecosystem: curious sea lions on the jetties, blue-footed boobies and giant tortoises in the national park.
Kicker Rock (León Dormido) is a split volcanic cone rising from the sea near San Cristóbal. Hammerhead sharks, sea lions, Galápagos turtles and rays swim through the channel between the rocks - a diver's paradise.
Bartolomé is the most photographed island in the Galápagos: Pinnacle Rock - a basalt spike rising from the sea - is the archipelago's iconic motif. Galápagos penguins, hammerhead sharks and sea turtles populate the waters.
This sheltered bay on the north-western coast of Santiago in the Galápagos once served buccaneers and whalers as an anchorage. Rust-red tuff cliffs and striking rock pinnacles line the shore, where sea lions, marine iguanas and seabirds gather.
Punta Vicente Roca lies at the northern tip of Isabela and offers dramatic volcanic cliffs with deep sea caves. In the crystal-clear water swim Galápagos penguins, sea turtles and hammerhead sharks in great numbers.
The Bolívar Channel separates the Galápagos islands of Isabela and Fernandina. The cold, upwelling Cromwell Current makes this strait one of the archipelago's richest waters, frequented by whales, dolphins, Galápagos penguins and flightless cormorants.
This headland on Fernandina, the youngest and most volcanically active island in the Galápagos, hosts one of the largest colonies of marine iguanas on earth. Across the black lava fields rises the La Cumbre volcano, and flightless cormorants, Galápagos penguins and sea lions share the shore.
This deeply cut inlet on the west coast of Isabela was an anchorage for whalers over centuries, and their carved ship names still mark the rock walls. A trail leads up to the saline Darwin Lake, while penguins and flightless cormorants swim in the surrounding waters.
Elizabeth Bay lies on the western coast of the Galápagos island of Isabela and forms a branching mangrove inlet. Galápagos penguins, manta rays and green sea turtles share the calm channels, where Zodiac cruises through the root labyrinths rank among the most serene and striking Galápagos experiences.
A wooden barrel post box has stood in this bay on Floreana since the eighteenth century, where whalers once left letters for homeward-bound ships to carry onward. Visitors still leave postcards here and take away mail to deliver by hand.
This small islet off Floreana is one of the last refuges of the highly endangered Floreana mockingbird. Its steep shores offer excellent snorkelling in clear water alongside sea lions and colourful reef fish.
Punta Cormorant on Floreana offers a sparkling green olivine sand beach and a brackish lagoon with flamingos. Manta rays and hammerhead sharks in the waters off the beach are among the most exciting encounters.
The Santa Cruz Highlands are home to the El Chato tortoise reserve and free-ranging giant tortoises in their natural habitat. The lava tunnels - underground caves formed by lava flow - can be explored on foot. In the rainy season the highlands stay lush and green.
The breeding centre at the Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz raises Galápagos giant tortoises for reintroduction to their home islands. It was also home, until 2012, to Lonesome George, the last tortoise of Pinta Island.
Dragon Hill in the north of Santa Cruz owes its name to the yellow land iguanas that live on its slopes. A trail passes a brackish lagoon that often draws flamingos and opens up broad views across the surrounding islands.
Isla Guy Fawkes is a group of small rocky islets north-west of Santa Cruz, known for its abundant sea lion colonies. The name dates back to the British buccaneer era. Snorkelling here allows encounters with hammerhead sharks and rays.
