Introduction

Bartolomé is a volcanic islet situated just off the east coast of Santiago Island and is one of the youngest islands in the Galapagos archipelago.  Despite being fairly desolate and harbouring little plant life, it is scenically unique making Bartolomé the most visited and most photographed island in the Galapagos archipelago.

The island is characterised by its fascinating geology and incredible volcanic formations and in particular that of Pinnacle Rock.   Historically, Pinnacle Rock was used as a target for US airmen in World War 2. The island offers beautiful white sandy beaches, fringed by luscious green mangroves.

You can explore Bartolome with Aqua-Firma by joining one of our Galapagos Wildlife Yacht Safaris or Yacht & Lodge Safaris. We also stop there on some Dive Liveaboard trips. Other liveaboard trips will often pass by the rock providing excellent views.
