Isabela Island

Wilderness and Wildlife

Isabela is the largest island in the Galapagos, but with a population of only around 2,200, it remains one of the gems of the archipelago.

This is laid-back island living at its finest. The beach is easily accessed from town though it is often occupied by local iguanas and other wildlife.

The town offers humble seafood restaurants with some interesting beachfront bars.

"Very well organized and knowledgeable, took the stress part out of the vacation. We told them what we wanted and they put together a well thought out itinerary with recommendations on where to eat and other things to do on our down time."
