Visitor site · Marchena Island
Espejo Point (Punta Espejo), Marchena: a remote marine site for diving and snorkeling with hammerheads, Galápagos sharks, dolphins and sea lions.
About the site
Espejo Point, Punta Espejo, is one of the two marine sites of Marchena, a large and remote island in the north of the Galápagos with no visitor sites on land. It lies at the southeast tip of the island.
It is known above all for sharks: hammerheads and Galápagos sharks are often seen, and dolphins are frequent. Sea lions, green sea turtles, rays, moray eels, garden eels, scorpionfish and surgeonfish are part of the dive, and with luck you may see fur seals or the endemic Marchena lava lizard on the rocks.
Visibility usually ranges from 9 to 18 meters (30 to 60 feet), with depths of up to about 24 meters (80 feet). Close to the coast the currents and swell can be strong, so snorkelers stay in calmer water while divers follow the guide along the point.
There are no day tours to Marchena; only a few cruises and dive boats on northern routes visit Punta Espejo.
