Española Island is one of the jewels in the crown of the Galapagos Islands. This island is inhabited by countless endemic species that can be observed as you spend some time here.
During the morning, we enjoyed the white sandy beach in Gardner Bay, where sea lions were our greeting party and Española mockingbirds were very curious about our visitors. The water was crystal clear, so a deep-water snorkeling took place at Gardner Islet just off the beach. Sea lions swimming with our guests was the highlight!
In the afternoon, we put on our hiking boots and explored Punta Suarez, a visitor site with an overwhelming amount of wildlife. Waved albatross, Nazca boobies, blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, sea lions and lava lizards were just a few of the species that can we observed here.
