Floreana Island

Floreana Island is such a beautiful and gorgeous island. It is located in the southeasternmost island in the archipelago Floreana was the first human-visited island. Despite this, without a supply of fresh water, the surviving population is less than 200 people today. The majority of the population lives at Puerto Velasco Ibarra, a tiny hamlet on the island's western shore. There are a few hotels and restaurants, but tourist amenities are minimal.


The island has a rich history that visitors may learn about. Whalers, pirates, and other adventures have traveled through Floreana since the 1600s. In the nineteenth century, a crew of whalers established a wooden barrel near Post Office Bay. Seamen might leave letters with addresses on them here. Whenever one of them was leaving the island, they would take any letters that they could deliver by hand with them. This early message system allowed those at sea to stay in touch with loved ones back home. Visitors at this historic landmark can still join in the practice of delivering other passengers' mail.


Several indigenous species are only waiting to be discovered. Cormorant Point has a green-tinted beach and a picturesque lagoon with a huge flock of pink flamingos. Sally Lightfoot crabs, green sea turtles, and joint-footed petrels are among the other animal species found in this area. Devil's Crown is a short boat journey from the island. Because of its coral reef, this volcanic cone, which is semi-submerged under the water, is a popular snorkeling and diving destination. It is home to a plethora of colorful fish, sea lions, penguins, and dolphins.
