Concha de Perla

Reviewed By StorkRN1 - Roseville, United States

Our tour group of 3 went snorkeling here late morning and it was fantastic! You have to walk over marine iguanas and sea lions on the boardwalk to the cove! Not super clear water like in Hawaii, but once I got used to it, I saw more and more! We saw sea turtles, bat rays, tons of fish, chocolate chip sea stars, a sleeping marble ray, about 60 black-tipped reef sharks, hundreds of sardines/mackerels(?), marine iguanas swimming (which is really cool to watch), and sea lions swimming with us! Amazing! I had a free afternoon the next day and went back. It was a little choppier, but still saw quite a bit! Didn't see nearly as much in the other 3 spots I snorkeled in the Galapagos as I did here!

Centro de Crianza Arnaldo Tupiza

Reviewed By Caramw - London, United Kingdom

A little path takes you past enclosures of adult tortoises (50-120yrs) - the breeding groups which are helping to repopulate Isabela island. They all hang out quite close to the path, so you can see them relatively close up, and if you visit on Monday, Wednesday or Friday mornings (feeding days), you can see them munching away on giant ‘Elephant Ear’ leaves! It’s great to see the conservation efforts up close for this endangered and critically endangered species, and a quick chat to the park rangers gave us the information we needed (the signage could do with improvement!) There are 2 species at the centre; some of them were rescued when a volcano erupted, others rescued from farms where humans tied them up by their back legs as ‘pets’ - their legs subsequently got gangrene and sadly had to be cut off. The centre does a good job of providing a safe and healthy living environment for these gentle giants while they get the population back up to where it needs to be. We also saw the juveniles 3–5 years in the middle, which are getting ready for release in the wild. Unfortunately you can’t see the babies up close due to security measures (you can see these better in the Darwin Centre in Santa Cruz). The museum area is a little tired, though I hear they have plans to renovate. Also loved the walkway to get here, past flamingoes and marine iguanas swimming in the wetlands. A great (and free) way to spend a few hours on Isabela.

Playa Puerto Villamil

Reviewed By ruthandvern - Wilton, United States

After whatever activity we plan for the day, we plan to have a nice swim here following. The clear water slapping on the white sandy beach is totally restful. Any sweat worked up is set free. The iguanas come and go along the edges of the volcanic rocks. At the East end in the sea grasses the area is roped off for the breeding season. We have many super videos of mano y mano arguments and the courtship (however brief) of these wonderful aquatic beauties. Nearer the Iguana Crossing end of the beach hundreds do hang out on the rocks and across the street on the sea walls. As you swim you get scooped by from the pelicans looking for their next meal while the frigate birds hope for a steal. Outstanding place.
