About this site
Isla Lobos sits just off the northwest coast of San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos archipelago, close to the town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. The site is named for the sea lion colony that lives on its rocky shores, and it is a frequently used dive and snorkel spot for boats operating out of San Cristobal. It offers relatively sheltered conditions compared to more exposed Galapagos sites further offshore.
