At Darwin Bay, frigatebirds<\/a>, storm petrels<\/a>, swallow-tailed gulls<\/a>, which are the only nocturnal of its species in the world can be seen. Red-footed boobies<\/a>, noddy terns<\/a>, mockingbirds<\/a>, lava gulls<\/a>, tropic birds<\/a>, doves<\/a> and Darwin finches<\/a> are also in sight.<\/p>\n Prince Philip\u2019s Steps is an extraordinary steep path that leads through a seabird colony full of life, up to cliffs that are 25 metres high.

Both visitor sites are located in this bay.<\/p>\n Genovesa also offers great snorkeling opportunities even though the water is quite murky.
