In Charles Darwin Center you can see a lot of small turtles (from 1 month) as well as many older ones. The turtle named &#8220;Lonesome George&#8221; had also been home here since 1972, which was probably the only survivor of its kind, but unfortunately died in 2012 in the research station.<\/p>\n<p>For decades Charles Darwin Center has worked on conservation, restoration and sustainable development projects to ensure that the archipelago is well-managed. More than a hundred scientists, educators, research assistants, support staff and volunteers from all over the world have participated in this effort. Currently, the organization\u2019s staff from Charles Darwin Center is composed by more than 75% Ecuadorians and is committed with the professional training of the permanent residents of Galapagos.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d13431.992847360008!2d-90.31606185472931!3d-0.7423896360533412!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0xeb861ce7764bb76e!2sCharles%20Darwin%20Research%20Station!5e0!3m2!1sde!2sde!4v1577967555018!5m2!1sde!2sde\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Charles Darwin Center is a nonprofit organization and the work we carry out depends entirely upon our donors. Additionally, the Charles Darwin Foundation has just renewed its agreement with the Government of Ecuador in July 2016 for 25 more years of science in the archipelago.<\/p>\n<p>If, like us, you&#8217;ve seen the many Galapagos turtles in the Highlands of Santa Cruz or Floreana, it&#8217;s not really worth visiting the Charles Darwin Center. Especially since the animals here are locked in their very dry-looking enclosures and partly walls or fences obscure the view. The little turtles are still very cute. And there are also a few land iguanas to see.<\/p>\n<div id=\"jig1\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-0dbb2025a13f5be5bcce760e6db68a1f jig-preset-global jig-source-wp-gallery\"><div

Luckily, thanks to our anautin seasickness miracle pills, we survived the trip safely without any incidents \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The journey with ferries, small boats or even cruise ships can get quite rough from time to time. If you are not used to the movements, high swell can easily lead to seasickness. Until now, we as divers rarely had problems with it, but on the crossings between the Galapagos Islands it also caught us quite.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zitat\"><strong>Our tip:<\/strong> In order not to become seasick, it is advisable to get a few tablets against seasickness beforehand! This can be found in every pharmacy on Galapagos (10 pieces = $1) or in advance already here at home e.g. from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MNGPsB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"extern matomo_link wpel-icon-right\">Ratiopharm<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-3\"><\/span><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Fcckbw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"extern matomo_link wpel-icon-right\">Aliud<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-3\"><\/span><\/a>. After our horror trip we got &#8220;anautin&#8221; tablets with the active substance &#8220;dimenhydrinate&#8221; from our guide in Santa Cruz&#8230; and the little things help really amazingly well! We still take these tablets today with every trip on the water, where it can get a little more violent. And since then we have never again become seasick \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_8284\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8284\" src=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01.jpg\" alt=\"Ferry, Island Isabella, Galapagos, Ecuador, Round Trip, Wildlife, Travel Report\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-55190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/galapagos-inseln\/galapagos-insel-isabella-01-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The ferry from Santa Cruz to Isabella<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Arriving in Isabela, each passenger had to pay USD 5 island tax.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-island-of-isabella\"><\/span>The island of Isabella<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Isabela is the largest island in the Galapagos archipelago and occupies well over half of the land area of the entire archipelago.
