Encounter sea lions, marine iguanas, blue footed boobies, the magnificent frigate birds and with a bit of luck some Galapagos penguins. Get your camera ready for the spectacular Pinnacle Rock near Bartolome Island. The large bird nesting sites on Genovesa Island will be one of your highlights, where you will be lucky to see red-footed boobies and also Nazca bobbies among many other bird colonies.
