Things to do in Galapagos Islands, Galapagos Islands: The Best Hiking Trails
Abundant wildlife above and below the waves draws eco-tourists to Ecuador's Galapagos. Get up close on a stroll or in a Zodiac boat. Snorkel and dive with denizens of the deep, from sea lions to sea turtles at Santiago's Cousin's Rock. Hike by finches, flamingos and iguanas along the Darwin Trail. Admire Sierra Negra Volcano on Isabela. As visitor numbers are limited within the islands' National Park, book your boat tour through a tour operator. Visit January through April for the best snorkeling.

Beginning at Darwin Bay Beach, this nature hiking trail leads to many seabird colonies, most notably those of the Red-footed and Masked Boobies, while passing by many cliffs and tide pools along the way.

Bring the good camera. It is just so beautiful. The animals, the beach. Always bring: hat, sunscreen, refillable water bottle, rain jacket For those who have a little more trouble walking: walking sticks do help

This peninsula is on the north shore of San Cristobal Island. Made from two volcanoes with lava flows down to a pristine beach. From the beach there is a long walk after a steep path that runs through black lava rocks. The peaks and valley's are an interesting geological marvel. Wear very good shoes for this hike!
