This is our innovative new land-based expedition, developed in participation with the local community, promoting the charms of the most relaxed of the Galapagos Islands -- Isabela.
As the largest, Isabela is four times the size of the next largest island, Santa Cruz, but with only 2,200 of the total Galapagos population of some 20,000. It contains over 60% of the flora and fauna of the archipelago and is the only one that straddles the Equator. Among Isabela's attractions are five active volcanoes, the most extensive wetlands in the archipelago (recognized as a RAMSAR site: wetlands of international importance, the Ramsar convention is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands), and a three-kilometer long beach. You will also enjoy trekking with giant tortoises, swimming with white-tipped sharks, snorkeling with marine turtles, kayaking amongst flamingos, all in surroundings where stress is virtually unknown.
