This island is a formation of submerged edges of a crater. Known as "the bird island," it is the best place to see a red-footed booby colony and it also provides great opportunity to visit other bird colonies, such as: masked boobies, frigates, swallow-tailed gulls, red-billed tropicbirds, Galapagos doves, short-eared owls and Pintail ducks.

Both sea lion species can be found on this island and when snorkeling hammerhead sharks can be seen from above. Darwin Bay Beach is a coral beach with a trail that will leads to more seabird colonies. At Prince Philip's Steps many visitors climb to the plateau to take a glace at many seabirds and storm petrels nesting and wheeling overhead.
