5 Boating around Eden Island near Santa Cruz in Galápagos, EC

There is no authorized landing at Eden Island. Instead, tourists board a small charter boat or cruise ship passengers ride on an inflatable raft. A certified guide will explain all of the highlights as you tour the coast. This view is the start of the flat shoreline defined by lava boulders, land and sea vegetation plus serene coves. Notice the tuff cone in the background. The volcano is dormant. If the timing of its eruption is similar to the last one on neighboring Santa Cruz, then Eden Island may have been formed about 1.5 million years ago.
