A very important point is that there are no boats that transport directly from Isabela Island to
Cristobal or vice versa, the only way to travel is making a stopover on Santa Cruz Island. To go
from Cristobal to Santa Cruz it is recommended to travel by light airplane.
The inter-island boat routes are as follows:
