The three southern islands of San Cristóbal, Española, and Floreana provide some of the most exciting, unique, and unforgettable visitor sites in the Galápagos.
San Cristóbal and its main port town, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (it is also the capital of Galápagos), have the best surfing spots in the archipelago. There is good diving and snorkeling nearby, as well as some good beaches.

Española is famous as the only place in the world where the waved albatross nests. You can see their awkward waddling take-off during the months of the year when they are there.

Finally, the island of Floreana boasts one of the best snorkel spots in the islands, Devil's Crown.
