RABIDA ISLAND

Navigable Day tour

Rabida Island is located 4.5 km south of Santiago Island, northeast of Isabela, and northwest of Santa Cruz, approximately 965 km off the mainland of Ecuador. It is a small island that forms part of the Galapagos Islands archipelago in the Pacific Ocean.

Rabida Island is one of the most volcanically diverse islands in the archipelago. Originally named after the 18th-century British Admiral John Jervis, the official Ecuadorian name of the island is Isla Rábida, in honor of the Rábida Convent, where Columbus left his son during his voyage to the Americas.

Is a small & arid island; most of the coast is rocky, except for a beach in the northeast. Several small volcanic craters and the high iron content in the lava give the island its characteristic red color and overall appearance, it's amazing…!!!

At the northern tip of Rabida, snorkeling and diving are available, where adventurous visitors can observe sea lions, sea turtles, eagle rays, garden eels, and occasionally sharks and penguins. There is also a small colony of sea lions.
