Isla Rabida, Galapagos Islands Cruises

Isla Rabida, Galapagos Islands Cruise Port

• Photographers and birdwatchers alike will be glad to tour this island since it is famed for being the only place where one can get an up-close view of the rare brown pelicans. The island's vegetation is one of the species' nesting spots.
   
• The island's waters have some good diving sites in the Northern side that are perfectly suited for snorkeling and scuba diving activities. This should be of interest to those who are willing to get an up-close view of the region's diverse and unique marine life.
   
• One of the island's greatest attractions is the saltwater lagoon that is located just behind the beach. The lagoon plays host to some flamingos that come to breed in the area and feed on the shrimp larva. Other birds like the pintail ducks are also seen here.
   
• For those interested in exploring the island on foot, a trail leading from the lagoon is an ideal one to follow. It leads up to the red colored cliffs, which are characteristic of the region, and ends at a cliff that offers spectacular views of the island's landscapes.
