reintroducing land iguanas, and there is also a Scalesia tree forest.
Passengers may opt to take a dinghy to Venice islet and observe the
vegetation and marine animals like spotted eagle rays, golden rays, mullets,
sharks and sea turtles. Land iguanas have often been observed as well.
Floreana (Cormorant Point)
Wet landing on a greenish-colored sand beach. Visitors will hike from the
black mangrove beds to a large, brackish lake, which holds one of the
biggest flamingo populations in the Galapagos. The island is best known for
its endemic plants like the Galapagos milkwort, passion flower and button
mangrove.
Novice snorkelers can practice on the main beach with playful sea lions;
experienced snorkelers can roam around Devil’s Crown. Please keep in mind
this is an open-water activity; there is nothing to step on.

Dry landing. Visitors will learn more about the lava terrain and cross the
inactive lava fields.

watching. Many species, such as the hooded mocking bird and red-billed
tropic bird can be seen and observed closely.

Light-foot crabs.

boobies.
