15 Remote Islands You Can Actually Visit

"Part of the Galápagos Archipelago, known for emerald landscapes, a glittering natural pond, and extreme solitude; it also features a historic "post office," a small stand set up by whalers in the 1700s where people still leave postcards today hoping other visitors will hand-deliver them." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

I was fascinated by the mystery and beauty of Floreana Island in the Galapagos. Watching The Galapagos Affair made me feel both the paradise-like nature of the island and the tension of the dramatic events that took place there. The combination of history, intrigue, and wild nature makes me want to learn more about this island. Definitely worth watching!

This was a great place to snorkel. Fish and turtles were everywhere. The turtles played with us quite a bit. More than we thought they were going to. There was not a lot of current here. Not very hard to snorkel, even for the older people in our group. Even people who are not great swimmers did well here. Would recommend for first time or novice snorkelers.

One mile walk across the island and back. Spotted several pink flamingos feeding at the brackish water pond. Sea turtles mating in the surf of the white sand beach.

We made three stops on this island the day we visited. First @ Cormorant Point, for an early morning hike to see the flamingos and the nesting sea turtles. After breakfast,to Isla Champion for snorkeling and glass bottom boats. Then, after lunch to Post Office Bay for kayaking, paddle boarding, beach time, and of course a visit to the post office. We left 15 post cards, took and delivered one post card. A month later two of our cards have been delivered!!

Wonderful place to relax, snorkel and feel the nature. The little shop only sells a few itens like pasta, sauce, eggs, 1 or 2 kinds of veggies, some snacks and other minor things. Restaurants require you to order 2-3 hours in advance. So we brought food from St Cruz and cooked every meal, much cheaper and convenient. Our prefered spot was La Loberia!
