South Plaza Highlights:
South Plaza is one of two twin islands known as Islas Plazas, located off Santa Cruz Island. South Plaza was born of upheaval, uplifted during a geologic event and is one of the smallest yet richest islands in the archipelago. Only 130 meters wide (426 feet), it was formed from uplifted seabed, giving it a titled tabletop quality.

The rocky island is thick with prickly pear cactus and home to land iguanas, marine iguanas, and a colony of sea lions. The rocks have grown thick with green seaweed in places, speckled with bright red and orange Sally Lightfoot crabs. Along the cliff edge nesting swallow-tailed gulls are the predominant seabirds, along with tropicbirds and shearwaters. During the rainy season the dormant ground cover undergoes a drastic change. The red Sesuvium turns bright green and the leafless evening-blooming Portulaca bursts into large yellow flowers relished by the land iguanas.

Excursion options include a short walk to view wildlife, flora, and geology. This is a dry landing.

Isla Santa Fe Highlights:
Santa Fe Island (Isla Santa Fe), is also known as Barrington Island. It is located southeast of Santa Cruz Island, is a small uplifted island dotted with cactus and home to some of the largest and most unique land iguanas in the Galapagos islands. The Santa Fe land iguana is a much lighter orange-yellow than the iguanas found on the other Galapagos Islands. Lava lizards, sea lions, Galapagos hawks, finches, and the Galapagos Mockingbird may also be seen.

This tiny island has one of the most beautiful coves in the Galapagos, Barrington Bay. A popular destination for a day trip, Isla Santa Fe will offer you many sights to see.

Excursion options include a short walk, and an optional deepwater snorkel. This is a wet landing.
