Isabela Island

Isla Isabela is the largest in the archipelago. Formed approximately one million years ago, the island is the result of a merger between six volcanos and takes shape of a seahorse. While most of the island is preserved by the Galapagos National Park, the beautiful township of Puerto Villamil can be found at the southeastern base of the island. The long stretches of sandy white beach make this a favorite destination for tourists. Here you can see in its natural habitat such wildlife as sea turtles, giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, Sally Lightfoot crabs, penguins, pink flamingos, blue-footed boobies, finches, cormorants, pelicans, sharks and so much more! Surf, scuba, snorkel, hike, or just relax on the beach. Isabela Island waits for you.
