Home of the Galápagos Iguana
Santa Fe Island, also referred to as Barrington Island in tribute to British Admiral Samuel Barrington, is a modest, relatively flat island situated in the center of the archipelago, southeast of Santa Cruz Island. From a geological perspective, it is one of the oldest volcanoes, with underwater rock formations that date back 3.9 million years.

Before getting started with our awesome water activities, we get to see the biggest species of opuntia cactus and watch seabirds perched on the cliffs! We’ll see blue-footed boobies, pelicans, magnificent frigate birds, and even some Galapagos sea lions! The area is teeming with marine life, including sea turtles, different types of rays, sea lions, and an array of vibrant fish. But the absolute highlight of the experience is swimming with the sea lions in the island’s warm, clear waters!
