Why visit uninhabited islands on your Galapagos trip?

Surely you have heard about the “enchanted islands” and it’s spectacular fauna and flora, the unique and wonderful experiences that you can do in this paradise away from everything. However living it, or even better, explore the uninhabited islands is a completely amazing adventure.

We invite you to read this article, in which you will find valuable information to take a tour so magical that you will want to do it every year.

Therefore, it is important to correctly plan your trip to the islands. If you do not know how to do it or need a guide, we invite you to review the following article and get the most out of your trip to Galapagos.

As your tour must start in one of the inhabited islands due to the availability of accommodation or airports, it can be a long trip to get to know all the corners of the islands. Unless you do it on board a cruise ship, since you have greater ease in exploring the hidden and obviously more magical places of the enchanted islands. Why on cruise? because the extensive trip takes place at night, providing a greater benefit to your trip.

Discovering the uninhabited islands

Galapagos is a leading natural destination in South America, especially because of the habitats that remain uninhabited, making it necessary to get out of the settlements. Leave the civilization behind and be captivated by nature, and the incredible and out of this world landscapes. If you don’t know where to find them, we will show you some of the most iconic:

Beyond visiting the Charles Darwin station (first point of contact with giant tortoises) it is important to visit some of the furthest islands from the populated centers. Places such as Genovesa Island Bartolome Island Santiago Island Santa Fe Island Española Island or Seymour Island.

In these islands there is no human intervention that can damage the natural ecosystem of the species, and unlike the inhabited islands, here you will meet the species in its habitat and natural essence.

Enjoy a great adventure

If you want to know more species, you can cross the equinoctial line and go to Genovesa Island, the furthest in the archipelago. Here you will be surprised with a paradisiacal landscape of white sand where you will find red-footed boobies, seagulls and frigates. In addition, you will find sharks, rays and sea lions that swim very close to this island.

If you still need a little more incentive to visit these magical places that do not maintain contact with humans, we remind you that, in several tours of these sites, you can do hiking, take pictures, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, and much more.

Here you will also find two iconic species of the islands such as the Galapagos penguins and the sea lions.
