 "Our customer Feefo rating")
Sombrero Chino island is small even by Galápagos standards, but its unusual shape and largely untouched landscape make it stand out on any island-hopping itinerary. Volcanic formations and lava fields dominate, creating a striking contrast with the marine life that gathers just offshore.
As with many Galápagos visitor sites, the appeal here lies in how much is packed into such a compact area – geology, wildlife and scenery all within a short walk of the landing site. It’s one of those places that rewards a slow pace: linger by the cove and the sea lions tend to do the entertaining for you.
