Daphne Major is a volcanic island just north of Santa Cruz Island and just west of the Baltra Airport in the archipelago. This island is the most restricted area of the Galapagos, only a few yachts are allowed to sail here, the people who go ashore have a wonderful experience of an island full of blue-footed boobies and more Galapagos species. Take your camera and shoot the pictures of your life! At the summit of the trail there’s a nice view on two craters. Visitors are not allowed to go down into the crater because of the heat and other volcanic dangers. This island has a very rich bird life, so be careful that you don’t step on one of the many nests!
Daphne is home to Galápagos Martins, Blue-footed Booby, Nazca Booby, Short-eared Owls, Red-billed Tropicbirds and Magnificent Frigatebirds.
