An island covered in boobies

Isla Isabel, a slice of natures paradise you've never heard of. This isolated volcanic island is a World Herritage Site and is home to the blue-footed boobie (they're not just found in the Galapagos) and many other nesting birds. We reached Isla Isabel exactly 48 hours after leaving Cabo and hope to be back before  leaving Mexico. We literaly couldn't take a step without the worry of stepping on a reptile, bird's nest or other animal. Isla Isabel offers a caldera in the middle of the island filled with water, the shores were covered in both white coral and volcanic rock offering a beautiful contrast. Because of the islands isolation, the water is a spectacular blue and offers amazing snorkeling. We must of come at the perfect time, there were bird nests everywhere! We were careful when hiking the island to avoid the many female boobies who were sitting on their nests. 

Blue-footed boobie.  So Cute!!

82 degrees and crystal clear water makes for great snorkeling

Poor Murphy can't snorkel, so we bring the sealife to him.
