Rising dramatically from the crystalline waters of the Galápagos, Genovesa Island exudes a wild, otherworldly energy. Known as the “Bird Island,” it is a sanctuary for immense colonies of seabirds, including red-footed boobies, frigatebirds, and Nazca and swallow-tailed gulls, whose cries echo across its rugged cliffs. Visitors can explore the island’s volcanic caldera on foot along winding trails that reveal dramatic cliffside vistas, or snorkel in sheltered coves teeming with tropical fish, rays, and curious sea lions. The scent of salty sea air mingles with the vibrant colours of nesting birds, creating an immersive sensory experience. Genovesa is an intimate encounter with raw, untamed nature, where every step and splash feels like discovery.
