A Visit to the Isabela Island in the Galapagos Islands


If you want to explore the mesmerizing beauty of the oceanic islands, then consider visiting the Isabela Island in the Galapagos Islands. Located in the western edge of the archipelago, this largest island covers an area of 4,640 square kilometers. It is primarily noted for birds and marine lives, which can hardly be encountered in the other islands of the Galapagos. It is a place where bird watchers can easily come across the Galapagos hawks and scuba divers can swim with school of marine iguanas.
Besides bird and marine creatures, the Isabela Island provides shelter to huge number of wild tortoises than other islands in the Galapagos. While cruising off the coast, you will have close views of the different species of tortoises lazing in the shorelines. Apart from tortoises, visitors will also get a chance to see penguins and varieties of other shore birds on the rocky shores.
Since Isabela Island attracts tourists all throughout the year, a number of travel advisors in the Galapagos Islands have starting to offer tour packages including Isabela Island as a major attraction. But the trip to the Galapagos would be incomplete if you don’t get a chance to explore other touristy islands like Santa Cruz Island, Bartolome Island, Floreana Island, San Cristobal Island, etc.
