Galapagos Islands tours visitor site - Isla Lobos

Lobos Islet is a seasonal nesting location for the blue footed boobie, although the basalt island outcropping is named for the sea lions sometimes present there.

Isla Lobos is located heading up the coast from Wreck Bay and Puerto Baquerizo north of San Cristobal Island also known as Chatham, 1 hour across a small channel.

Isla Lobos means ”Sea-Lion Island”, and the name is certainly appropriate because they frolic, leap and make a racket here. It is also a nesting place for Blue-footed Boobies and a good place for snorkeling.
