Elizabeth Bay - Isabela

Galapagos Islands

Overview

Elizabeth Bay, located on the east coast of Isabela Island, comprises the bay itself and various small islands. It offers a magnificent visitor site, with the mangrove vegetation on its shore and behind it, the lava fields. There is no landing site here, so you can visit by taking a dinghy ride and observe the diversity of wildlife: sea lions, marine iguanas, Galapagos penguins and lightless cormorants. It is a great spot for kayaking, as you can see the wildlife up close, and also for snorkeling, where you'll have the chance to see white tip sharks, turtles and rays.
