Lobos Islet - San Cristóbal

Galapagos Islands

Overview

Lobos Islet is located 6 miles north of San Cristobal Island and it was named after the sea lions you can encounter everywhere on the island. It's a good site for snorkeling and diving, and you'll most likely be playing around in the water with sea lions. You can also take a hike on the 0.6 miles trail, where you'll have the chance of seeing the island's wildlife up close: Sally Lightfoot crabs, blue-footed and Nazca boobies and brown pelicans. Or you can simply sit back and relax on the gorgeous white-sand beach.
