Visitor Points:
Bartholomew Island, Galapagos
Bartolome Island is located in Sullivan Bay off James Island. Bartolome has two visitor sites on the island. The island also includes a spectacular climb to the summit of the island, which reveals first a variety of colorful volcanic formations of Bartholomew and second the immense black lava flows on nearby James Island.
Daphne Island, Galapagos
Daphne Island is a large tuft cone that has been eroded by the constant crashing of the waves around its base. The vegetation is sparse, and ground cover is minimal consisting of only a few shrubs. Thousands of blue-footed boobies nest within the islands two small craters.
The National Park service restricts visitors allowed to visit Daphne and it is a select few that are able to visit this special place. Visitors venture up a steep trail to the crater rim. Finches, masked boobies, short-eared owls and Galapagos martins are visible along the way. Red-billed tropicbirds nest in the cliffs near the summit. Magnificent frigatebirds build their nests in the little vegetation that occurs on the Island's slopes and near the crater rim.
