Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

This island provides many opportunities to see birdlife. It is a little distant from other islands but worth a visit if you can arrange it

Bring the good camera. It is just so beautiful. The animals, the beach.
Always bring:
hat, sunscreen, refillable water bottle, rain jacket
For those who have a little more trouble walking:
walking sticks do help

Wir sind einen Teil des Darwin Trails gewandert und fanden das aufgrund der beeindruckenden Tierwelt wunderbar.

Genovesa is a true highlight of the Galapagos if you are looking forward to see birds. The Magnificent Red Frigate Birds are so impressive when they puff up their chests. Along with the Nazca and Red footed boobies which there are also loads of. There is so much red around. Plus there are gulls and other birds. You can get very close up to birds nesting and there can be a lot of action flying overhead. It is a great feeling to walk along a path through these beauties. We really enjoyed it in May but I think it would be great for a lot of the year. It is quite a distance from the other islands but we found it a trip highlight as many of the other islands are less populated. It's not so special for the snorkelling side at Genovesa if you are just focussed on that. The island is rocky though there is vegetation.

Wonderful for getting close to Frigate birds, Swallow-Tailed Gull, Lava Gull and Yellow-crowned Night Heron...as well as the plentiful Sally Lightfoot Crabs. Short relaxing walk with much to see in close proximity.
The beach is not great for snorkelling. It's steep profile means the waves churn and cloud the water.
Combined with the trail from Prince Philip's Steps; it makes Genovesa a wonderful 'close-up' destination...brilliant!

Vc desembarca na praia (ou vai nadando desde o seu barco, e aproveita para fazer um snorkel espetacular!) e faz uma trilha muito curta. Mas muito rica, com muitos bichos para observar!

It is a wet landing so be prepared. You will see lots of birds; red and Nazca boobies, frigate birds, seagulls, herons, finches and mockingbirds.

This is quite far away from other islands in the Galapagos, and it's basically a rock full of birds. Of course, we were there for the animals, and we definately got to see nice birds in all phases of life, but it feels like we could've seen most of them on other islands as well, and then it's a long way off. This was part of our cruise, but not the best part.

We were dropped off at Prince Philip's Steps and once we got to the top we saw what we were in for: boobies, boobies, everywhere. They were perched in the shrubs, walking down the middle of the path and nesting right alongside. There were the now-familiar Nazca boobies, but this was the first time we encountered the Red-footed booby.
After a short hike inland through low shrubs the trail opened up onto a lava bed flow with both intact and collapsed lava flow tubes. What was unique about this area was the swarm of thousands, perhaps, tens-of-thousands of tiny black Galapagos Storm Petrels (now called Wedge-Rumped Storm Petrel) the smallest of petrels, apparently.
We also spotted the Galapagos Short-eared owl on the hunt among the broken lava rocks. Short-eared owls are found on all continents except Antarctica and it is not clear if the Galapagos short-ear is a true species yet. The Galapagos short-ear, however, is unique in that it has adopted a daytime hunting behaviour, in contrast to the typical nocturnal hunting habit. This evolved to avoid competition with the Galapagos Hawk. While lizards and small birds are the usual prey they also learned to hunt rats (introduced by humans). The owls typically take their prey in mid-air striking from behind by the neck. The thousands of storm petrels on Genovesa are a rich source of food and the owls here have refined their hunting technique to take advantage of their prey. Galapagos Storm Petrels nest in the ground inside lava tubes and emerge from the same opening to fly off and hunt fish. The short-ear has learned to observe the habits of the petrels, learn where they nest and leave the tube, and eventually stalk them just as they emerge from underground. Wise owls!
Nazca boobies had established numerous nests along the trail on the lava field and adults frequenly walked on the trail forcing us to step aside.
The trail ran along the outside of the crater rim then led back to the inside of the caldera (collapsed volcano) and the Great Darwin Bay. There the shrubs were full of Magnificent frigate birds both adult and juvenile. These are large, mostly-black seabirds with long, hook-tipped beaks and the males have a inflatable red throat pouch. Known as Man 'O War and Pirate birds, the frigates are known for their infamous feeding technique "klepto-parasiting" in which they harrass other seabirds into dropping or regurgitating their recently-caught food and catching it mid-air. They can scoop fish from the water surface. Frigates, however, cannot dive into the water as they lack the oil-secreting gland other seabirds have and use to preen keeping their feathers water-proof.
The beach at Great Darwin Bay had sea lions and marine iguanas but, by this time in our time in the Galapagos, we had already seen quite a few of their kin.
Not that we were getting jaded. The proximity and lack of fear of the seabirds allowed us to observe them up close. Many of our companions who have not brought big zoom lenses were happy to get fairly close-up pictures with their cameras and even phones.

Это небольшой островок, на котором делают остановку по пути. Нас не слишком впечатлило, поскольку мы увидели все тех же животных, которых видели во многих других местах. А еще было жарко, а на острове нет никакой тени.
