We'll hike up an active volcano to one of the biggest calderas in the world on Isabella Island, take a coastal kayak in Isabela's beautiful Bay and dine on a black sand beach in the mysterious Floreana Island. Blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas and frigate birds populate each island and up close encounters are common so have your camera ready!
