A swimming hole which is a mixture of fresh and salt water. The water is crystal clear and there are fish, so take snorkelling gear.

To get there take a water taxi 0.50$ from Puerto Ayora harbour to Angermeyer point and walk for 20-30 minutes, just follow the signs.

A farm in the highlands on Santa Cruz where you can see giant tortoises in the wild. There are loads of them so no chance of not seeing any, however it is better to go in the morning as they are more active - walking around and eating etc.

The main attraction of this island is to walk up the now extinct volcano and see the fantastic views from the top. Also to snorkel with sealions, marine iguanas and, if you are very lucky, to see one of the small colony of Galapagos penguins.

There are lots of nesting birds on this island - blue footed boobies and frigatebirds being the main ones. Loads of sea lions, marine and land iguanas.

The Galapagos Islands are really expensive which can make it hard to visit if you are on a budget. Most of the people who come here go on a three or four-day cruise of the islands which costs a lot of money. However, you can do it yourself for less.

There is plenty of accommodation on Santa Cruz island. From here you can do day boat tours and there is also plenty to see and do on the island itself.
