Galapagos Diving Tours - Scubadive Cruise
Birds
- Albatross: This species is endemic to the Galapagos; it is the largest bird on the islands. These albatross travel to the Galapagos Islands, specifically to the Española Island to mate and then live four months at sea. They can be seen on this island from April up to the beginning of December.
- Blue-footed Boobies: The blue-footed boobies can be distinguished by the color of their feet. In addition to this beautiful attraction, these birds perform a majestic courtship dance. These boobies are found mainly on the Islands of Española and Seymour.
- Red-footed Boobies: These boobies are the same as the blue-footed ones but their feet are a deep red color. The best places to find these boobies are on the Islands of Genovesa, Punta Pitt and on San Cristobal Island.
- Masked or White Boobie: This is the largest species of all of the boobies on the Islands. It is known for its intense white color that contrasts with the black mask that covers its face. During its two mating seasons (from May to February - from September to May) they are found on the Genovesa Island and the Española Island, respectively.
