Punta Vicente Roca

Punta Vicente Roca

Experience the breathtaking marine sanctuary of Punta Vicente Roca, where the Galápagos Islands reveal their most dramatic landscapes. This extraordinary volcanic formation creates a natural haven where sea life thrives against a backdrop of towering cliffs and crystal waters.

Nestled on the northwestern tip of Isabela Island, Punta Vicente Roca offers one of the Galápagos' most spectacular snorkeling and diving experiences. The collapsed remnant of an ancient volcano has created a protected cove where marine life flourishes in remarkable abundance.

The nutrient-rich waters attract an incredible diversity of species. Marine Encounters include playful sea turtles, peculiar sunfish, and graceful manta rays gliding through the cool currents. Lucky visitors might spot penguins darting through the water with surprising agility.

Birdwatching Paradise awaits above the waterline, with blue-footed boobies performing their charming courtship dances on the cliffs, while flightless cormorants dry their vestigial wings in the equatorial sun.

The dramatic landscape features towering cliffs and fascinating geological formations that tell the story of the islands' volcanic origins. The contrast between the harsh, rugged coastline and the vibrant underwater world makes this site truly unforgettable.
