About this site
Cowley Islet sits off the northern coast of Isabela Island in the Galapagos archipelago, a volcanic island shaped by the same tectonic activity that formed the wider chain. Dive boats working the Galapagos typically reach sites like this from ports such as Puerto Ayora or on multi-day itineraries covering the western and northern islands.
