When I look at the map now, I guess I should have known that reaching Genovesa Island Galapagos from Bartolome Island would be difficult.
I agree:
- it’s easy to get on your boat and let them sail through your Galapagos island holiday.
- It’s also sounds easy that lots of the distance covered during our Galapagos island cruises would be done at night…
It’s just not at all easy to sleep in a rocky boat when the doors of your cabin cabinets keep on slamming…
So I strongly advice when you are looking for Galapagos cruises to ask for short island hopping trips.
I chose to visit Genovesa Island Galapagos because it is known as "Bird’s Island" and of course I am a number 1 bird lover.
We climbed all the way up the Prince Philips Steps and really that’s birds paradise! I will post pictures of the birds in my next post.
Today I just wanted to show a close up from the smallest marine iguanas living on Genovesa Island Galapagos.

After visiting Rabida Galapagos, our Galapagos island holiday took us to Bartolome Island.
This is a very popular Galapagos cruise destination but it is worthwhile a visit.
Especially if you love snorkeling and sea-life like we do, Bartolome Island is paradise.
Penguins are just shooting next to you and the sea lions are so curious, that they come to you instead of you having to look for them once you are in the water.
It’s wonderful how these sea creatures were playing with us and with our flippers.
Make sure to bring a disposable underwater camera when you plan your Galapagos island holiday: it’s well worth your while when you love snorkeling!
At the end of the afternoon, we climbed the Bartolome island volcano, saw a huge Galapagos snake on the way and admired to view on top of the Bartolome island volcano admiring Pinnacle rock and Sullivan Bay.

We had a lovely dinner on our little Galapagos cruise ship and headed from Bartolome Island for a night’s travel to Genovesa Island. (see our next post)
