Genovesa

Galapagos Islands - Islands of The Galapagos

Beautiful yet remote, Genovesa is a must for birders, home to frigate birds and the coveted red-footed boobies!

One of the Galapagosā€™ most remote islands and often overlooked by cruises, Genovesa is a huge horse-shoe bay and sunken crater that teems with bird life. From the pristine coral beach of Darwin Bay, a trail leads past tidal lagoons to a viewpoint overlooking colonies of frigate birds and one of the largest and only nesting sites of the red-footed booby. From the islandā€™s second visitor site ā€œPrince Philipā€™s Stepsā€ named in honour of the Duke of Edinburgh who visited the islands in the 1960ā€™s, visitors have the chance to observe short-eared owls, lava gulls, Nasca boobies and even fur seals.
