Santa Fe Island, formerly known as Barrington Island, is one of the smaller of the Galapagos islands. Although relatively small and unpopulated, the island is a great day-trip option for visitors to the area.

As on many of the Galapagos islands, the principal activities on Santa Fe Island are walking, snorkeling and diving. Highlights center around endemic vegetation and wildlife, including the large Optunia Echios (an endemic subspecies of prickly pear cactus), the Barrington land iguana, Santa Fe rice rat, Barrington leaf-toed gecko, and Santa Fe marina iguana. You'll also find large colonies of sea lions, both on the beaches and in the surrounding water, and a wide variety of birds all along the cliffs.
