Introduction

Española is the southernmost Galapagos Island, situated at the extreme southeast of the archipelago. Together with Santa Fé Island, Española is the oldest of the Galapagos Islands, at approximately 4 million years old.

The two significant areas of interest which exist on Española are that of Punta Suarez, considered to be the most attractive site of the Galapagos; and Gardner Bay, the location of a beautiful 1 km white sandy beach. Aside from being famed on their natural beauty, both of these sites provide great opportunities to discover fascinating and varied wildlife and marine life.

Aqua-Firma explores Española by means of our Wildlife Yacht Safaris and Galapagos Yacht & Lodge Safaris. This is the only location where we only dive as part of one of these types of trip.
