Isabela Island Travel Guide

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

A Land-Based Trip to The Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

From the relaxed island vibes to the plethora of sea turtles, marine iguanas, and frigate birds, the Galapagos felt like the perfect place to take a break from our grungy backpacker lifestyle.

This little cutie was there to greet us at the Puerto Ayora docks and entertained us while we waited for our ferry to Isabela Island.

LAS TINTORERAS DAY TOUR

Snorkeling with a sea turtle: just another day in the Galapagos Islands.

LOS TUNELES Tour

This is a great opportunity to see penguins and go snorkeling and see rays and sea turtles!

Sea Lion Cove

It was amazing to see how graceful they are in the water! Especially considering how goofy they are on land.

Food IN PUERTO VILLAMIL

There’s not very much variety, and it’s all sub-par and overpriced (so the exact opposite of Puerto Ayora, where the food is plentiful and delicious).

The Galapagos Islands were the most memorable part of our year-long honeymoon. There is something so magical and surreal about this tropical paradise in the middle of an endless sea off the coast of a country a lot of people give little thought to.
