This one is an expensive but incredible day trip - it's much further out on the islands so we did it included in our cruise with Galaxy Expeditions (Discount code: BRIANDMIT2025). Bartolomé Island is a small but stunning gem in the Galápagos archipelago, located off the coast of Ecuador. Known for its dramatic landscapes, it features striking volcanic formations and beautiful beaches.

The island is particularly famous for Pinnacle Rock, a towering spire that juts out over the ocean, making it a popular spot for photographers and nature lovers alike. Visitors often enjoy snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, where they can encounter vibrant marine life, including sea turtles and colorful fish. The hiking trails offer breathtaking views of the surrounding islands, showcasing the unique beauty of this remote paradise. With its rich biodiversity and captivating scenery, Bartolomé Island is a must-see for anyone exploring the Galápagos.
