    Floreana

    Floreana, located in the southern part of the archipelago, is the most remote out of the four inhabited islands with only 150 persons living here. We will not disembark at the inhabited part of the island, but navigate to the ISLET ENDERBY. We will be doing a boat ride to explore this beautifully remote part of the archipelago inhabited by sea lions as well as many different bird species, such as the big frigate birds, nazca boobies, blue-footed boobies, petrels, pelicans and many more. We will also be doing a snorkel activity here, among sea turtles, schools of tropical fish, sea lions and sometimes also rays and sharks. Moreover, there will be a fishing activity too for anyone wanting to give it a try - the most common catch in this area is the yellow-fin tuna.

    This is the uninhabited section of Floreana Island, where we will make a wet disembarkation After disembarkation at Cormorant Point and spending some time at the "Green Beach" (due to its high percentage of olivine crystals in the sand) your naturalist guide will lead you along a little trail up to a view point from where you get a stunning view over a big lagoon inhabited by flamingos and with Floreana's two tuff lava cones in the background - a very unique and beautiful landscape. Not only the flora, but also the fauna offers an incredible variety; it is the perfect place to observe pelicans, sea lions, sea turtles, sally lightfoot crabs, great blue herons, yellow-crowned night-herons, lava lizards, finches, and sometimes even sharks chasing some rays.
