Rabida Island, part of the Galápagos archipelago in Ecuador, offers an extraordinary glimpse into the natural beauty and biodiversity that make these islands famous. Known for its striking reddish-brown volcanic soil, Rabida Island stands out with its dramatic landscape and rich array of wildlife. The island’s distinctive color is due to its high iron content, creating a vivid contrast with the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can explore its unique terrain through guided hikes and scenic walks along its rugged coastline. For a deeper understanding of the island’s geological formation, the nearby cliffs and volcanic features provide excellent educational opportunities. Wildlife enthusiasts will be enchanted by the diverse species that inhabit Rabida. The island is renowned for its large population of sea lions, which can be observed lounging on the beaches or playfully interacting with snorkelers. Birdwatchers will also find Rabida to be a treasure trove, with opportunities to spot red-footed boobies, finches, and the Galápagos hawk. The island’s mangroves and saltwater lagoons further enhance its appeal, attracting a variety of bird species and providing stunning photographic opportunities. A highlight of visiting Rabida is the opportunity to snorkel in its clear waters, which teem with colorful fish, sea turtles, and occasionally even sharks. The island’s coral reefs are home to an array of marine life, making snorkeling and diving experiences both exhilarating and memorable. The shallow waters near the shore are perfect for beginners, while more experienced divers can explore the deeper, more challenging spots. Fun fact: Rabida Island is one of the few places in the Galápagos where you can see the rare and endangered Galápagos fur seal. This seal, smaller and darker than its counterparts, is a true testament to the islands' unique ecosystem. Arrive Time: 3:00 PM – Depart Time: 6:00 PM

| Day 5 |
Isabella Island is the largest of the Galapagos islands, on the western end of the archipelago. Shaped like a seahorse when viewed from above, Isabella is home to more wild tortoises than any other island, as well as a wide variety of other animal, bird and marine life.
On Isabella's west coast lies Tagus Cove, a natural protected harbor where centuries ago whalers safely spent the night and left their ships' signatures painted on the rocks. Near Elizabeth Bay, Moreno Point is a birdwatcher's delight. Further inland, visitors will find six volcanoes, five of which are still active and two that sit directly on the Equator. At the base of Alcedo Volcano is Urbina Bay, a perfect spot for snorkeling and home to the biggest land iguanas in the Galapagos. To the north, located at the "mouth" of the island, is Punta Vicente Roca. Although it's a marine-only site (meaning it can only be accessed via dinghy or SCUBA diving), the formation nonetheless draws plenty of visitors eager to see its spectacular sea life - penguins, seahorses, sea turtles, sunfish, and more. Arrive Time: 8:00 AM – Depart Time: 11:30 AM
