Bartolomé Island - Walk

Bartolomé Island is an uninhabited 1.2 square kilometres volcanic islet located in Sullivan Bay, just east of Santiago Island. The island, along with the bay it sits in, are named after naturalist Sir Bartholomew James Sullivan, who was a lieutenant aboard HMS Beagle, which Charles Darwin travelled on to the Galapagos Islands.

After an early breakfast, we go on the Islet Walk to see the various volcanic features, not least the dramatic Pinnacle Rock. One of the highlights of the Galapagos is the famous view from the top of the boarded walk.

Later, we went snorkelling; this went very well as we saw a couple of small sharks as well as many other interesting species.Read more
