Besides the sea lion colonies, this is one of the most important sites for bird watching. Many species, like the hooded mocking bird and red-billed tropic bird, can be spotted and observed closely. Past the nesting grounds you will reach the world's largest colony of waved albatross. From May to December their mating rituals are a highlight of the visit.

Next you will visit Gardner Bay, an open area where you can spot Galapagos hawks, American oyster catchers, Galapagos doves, hooded mockingbirds, 3 species of Darwin's finches, yellow warblers, lava lizards, and marine iguanas.
