Post Office Bay is a historic site in Galapagos. Visually it is nothing more than a wooden barrel on a trunk on a beach. However, this barrel worked as a mailbox during the multiple attempts at colonization on Floreana Island. The captains of the ships delivered and collected mail for and from the inhabitants of Floreana every few months. For a long time this was the only mean of contact that the colonizers had with mainland and the world.
The best way to get to the Devil's Crown is to hire a daily diving tour from the islands of Santa Cruz or San Cristóbal. This tour has an approximate cost of USD 150 in a speedboat and USD 200 in a yacht. The tour includes transportation, guide, equipment and lunch. Generally these tours stop at Punta Cormorant and the Devil's Crown.
There are also tours that spend a night in Floreana and include visits to Post Office, Haven of Peace, Corona del Diablo and Punta Cormorant. These tours must be hired at a tourist agency.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended to bring water and something to eat. Due to the strong equatorial sun we recommend the use of sunscreen and hat, and wear a light jacket. Finally, it is recommended to follow the instructions of the captain of the boat and the naturalist guide.
