Floreana Island & Enderby Islet Day Trip

Ready to explore the seabed of the Galapagos archipelago? Join us on this unforgettable day trip to Floreana Island and Enderby Islet, where you’ll snorkel in crystal-clear waters and uncover fascinating pirate stories!

Tour Description

At the appointed time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel on Santa Cruz Island and head to the Puerto Ayora dock. After about 1.5 hours of sailing, we’ll arrive at Enderby Island. Here we’ll take a panga ride around its cliffs, observing birds like blue-footed boobies, frigate birds, and marine iguanas.

Next, we’ll snorkel among sea turtles, sea lions, eagle rays, and tropical fish. We’ll then continue to Punta Cormorant on Floreana Island, where we’ll embark on a gentle hike to the largest flamingo lagoon in the archipelago and a green sand beach noted for olivine crystals. Another snorkeling opportunity allows for potential sightings of white-tip reef sharks.

Afterward, we’ll return to the boat for a traditional Ecuadorian lunch as we sail to Cueva de los Piratas (Pirates’ Cave). We’ll share the history of this former pirate hideout.

Finally, we’ll sail back to the starting point, concluding a full 9-hour excursion in the Galapagos.
