About Española
Blowholes throwing spray thirty metres up the cliff at Punta Suarez, the entire breeding population of the waved albatross, marine iguanas that turn red and green in the mating season: Espanola is the oldest island in the archipelago and the flattest, worn down over four million years. Gardner Bay is a white beach with a sea lion colony and no shade. Forty-four of our itineraries call at Espanola across 15 ships, from $1,530 per person, on trips of 3 to 14 nights.
The albatross is on Espanola only between April and December. From January to March the birds are at sea and the island is a different trip: the cliffs and the mockingbirds stay, the colony does not. The month matters more here than on any other island.
