Española is famous for its richness of seabirds. In Pta. Suarez, you can find big colonies of Sea Lions, the red coloured Sea Iguana, Blue-footed Boobies, Masked boobies and at certain times of the year you can see the Albatross. In the afternoon, you will continue to Floreana Island. Floreana became famous for its Post Office , where still tourists leave their letters, like the pirates used to leave their mails in old barrels. The one, who lives next to the recipient, takes them with him and hands them out.

The devil's crown is a sunken crater, with places where Blue-footed Boobies and Red-billed Tropicbirds breed. In Cormorant Bay with a dense Mangrove-belt behind the beach and a quiet lagoon, you can see Flamingos, Bahama Pintail Ducks, Black-necked Still and Whimbrels. In the afternoon, you will continue the tour to Isabela Island. Overnight stay at the Hosteria

Isabela is the biggest of the Galapagos Islands and has many active volcanoes up to an altitude of 1689m (Cerro Azul). Passing the Sierra Negra volcano, you will reach the Cerro Chiquito, which is an active volcano still sending smoke out of its crater. Near the port city Puerto Villamil, there is a branch office of the CDR Station which breeds turtles that survived the eruption of the Cerro Azul. Normally, big groups of Flamingos can be seen in the nearby lagoon, and at the Loberia you can also observe Sea Lions and Sharks.

The tour continues to the highlands of San Cristobal. The green landscape of this area, dominated by Scalesia trees is a welcoming contrast to the more arid scenery of the smaller, lower islands. On a farm ground in the hills you can observe the giant Galapagos tortoises. The following walk leads into the lava tunnels that were created when the lava stream cooled down. The trip to the highlands ends with a visit to the Twin Craters, a magnificent site where the two craters are situated on the right and left side of the road connecting Puerto Ayora to Baltra. After lunch the walk continues down to Tortuga Bay, a beautiful white beach and its lagoons. Here you will see a variety of Seabirds and Land Iguanas.

Today you leave for Seymour Norte, a low, flat island which was uplifted from the sea by underground seismic activity. This place accommodates large colonies of Blue-footed Boobies and Magnificent Frigate birds. On North Seymour there is a high chance of seeing a great show of acrobatic flights, for example a Frigate bird robbing a Booby, a Gull or even another Frigate bird of their food. Also many Sea Lions and sea Iguanas inhabit this island. One of the small very interesting islands is Plazas. There you have the opportunity of watching the island's marvellous wildlife. One of Plaza's main characteristics is its unusual vegetation comprised of Opuntia Cactuses and Seasuvium plants. As well as Sea Lions and Land or Sea Iguanas, you will be able to observe the variety of Seagulls that inhabit the isle. The sheer cliffs on the southern shore are an unparalleled bird observatory and a perfect bird habit: Swallow-tailed Gulls, Yellow-tailed mullets, Audubon Shearwaters, Red-billed Tropicbirds, Brown Pelicans among others use the rising air to glide from one side to the other of the escarpment.
