This is arguably the most beautiful spot in the Galapagos, and is one of the most photographed. The view of the volcanic island from the top is absolutely spectacular. The peak is reached by climbing flights of wooden stairs, and you see a variety of rock types as you follow the trail. Around the coast, you may also see the Galapagos penguin, which is the second smallest in the world, and hawks.

The landscape of Sullivan Bay consists of rock which still bears the marks of its initial flow in 1889, giving the impression that it is still liquid. The stark black rock contrasted with the reds, browns and greens of older parts of the island make for a very surreal sight. In the bay, you have the opportunity to snorkel in waters commonly inhabited by white tip sharks and tropical fish.
