The trail takes you up from the small dock, frequently occupied by Sea Lions, past the rather droopy Prickly Pear Cacti with their yellow flowers, and up to the cliff from where you can often see a shoal of the endemic Yellow-tailed Mullet.

The cliff is an excellent place to see the Swallow-tailed Gull and the Red-billed Tropic Bird, both of which breed here, and which along with boobies and frigates use the updraft for soaring. At the eastern end of the islands is an area where the bachelor bull Sea Lions congregate. There is a colony of Land Iguanas here as well as Marine Iguanas, and you may also see a hybrid of the two species. At certain times of the year, the Galapagos Carpetweed which covers much of the eastern end of the islands turns a brilliant red-orange, adding a welcome touch of colour.
