The only place on Earth where red-footed, blue-footed, and Nazca boobies nest side by side — a tuff-cone volcanic headland swarming with frigate birds and sea lions. Absolutely unmissable for wildlife lovers.
What to expect
A zodiac wet landing onto a pebble beach kicks things off, followed by a moderate uphill trail through otherworldly tuff formations to the only site in the Galápagos where all three booby species share nesting ground. Your naturalist guide narrates mating dances and chick-rearing up close. The return panga ride hugs the dramatic multi-coloured cliffs, revealing sea caves and marine iguana colonies inaccessible on foot.
Good to know
Allow 6–7 hours total. Bring water shoes for the wet landing, reef-safe sunscreen, and a telephoto lens. Pre-book at least 2 weeks ahead — permits for Punta Pitt are capped. Confirm all-aboard time with your ship and ensure the operator's return schedule has a 90-minute buffer.
