The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in San Cristobal, Galapagos Islands
Ages ago, a few volcanoes got together and decided to form an island. Gorgeous San Cristobal is a jewel of the Galapagos, where plump sea lions sun themselves on coral beaches and hermit crabs scuttle along peaceful lagoons. Snorkel or dive at Kicker Rock to explore the intricate remains of a lava cone, spot beautiful wildlife along the walking trails to aptly-named Frigatebird Hill, or frolic—slowly—with the legendarily large tortoises at the Galapaguera de Cerro Colorado nature preserve.

We got lucky on the day and saw 20 hammerheads, 6 Eagle rays, a bunch of reef and Galapagos sharks, and countless turtles. The divers on the other hand didn't see anything. So it depends on the conditions what you're going to see.

This can be a start point or end point for cruises. If it's the end then this will be no different from Santa Cruz and if it's the start then the animals and sea front will look interesting. Full of souvenirs shops and cafes. Just nice to promenade up and down taking in life. It's a busy place full of locals (all involved in the tourist trade) and tourists looking to spend their last bit of currency.

Nice hike along a boardwalk to the Interpretation Center - interesting displays that explain the history, development, and Charles Darwin’s role in the Galápagos Islands. Continue on to scenic viewing areas, a great spot to snorkel, a monument to Darwin, and a path to a beach covered with sea lions. Wear your walking shoes and swim suit. Great way to spend a few hours.

Neat placement of the statue. The stone pathways that traverse this corner of the island are astonishing. They must have been some hard work to lay down. Lovely View

This is right next to the water. It's a great place to watch the pelicans and sea lions. Plus crabs and marine iguanas.
