Daphne Major and Minor is two small islands just north of Santa Cruz Island in the archipelago Colon, commonly known as the Galápagos Islands. It consists of a tuff crater, devoid of trees, whose rim rises 120 metres above the sea. An intensive study of Darwin's Finches was conducted here by biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant over a period of 20 years. These two small islands provide visitors with their first panoramic view of the archipelago after landing in the airport at Baltra. Since visitation on the Daphne Major is limited to one scientific group per month, a measure enforced by the Galápagos National Park Service to prevent erosion, passengers with the opportunity to disembark there should consider themselves lucky to be among the select company that have passed across the island's impressive slopes. It is clear from the beginning of the visit-a landing that requires leaping from the moving dinghy onto a vertical cliff face and clambering up the rocks to the head of the steep, rocky trail-that a trip to Daphne Major is a special experience.
Daphne Minor is fairly eroded and not accessible to tourists, although the surrounding waters are very popular dive site. The underwater geology of Daphne is very interesting, with recesses and steep cliffs, and the possibility of seeing sharks (white-tipped, Galápagos, and occasionally hammerheads), sea turtles, or rays is high
