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, where we’ll begin our journey toward Floreana and Enderby. After about 1.5 hours of sailing, we’ll arrive at Enderby Island, known for its diverse wildlife. We’ll take a panga ride around its cliffs, where various birds and marine iguanas reside.

Next, we’ll snorkel in the island's waters, where you may see 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 surrounded by endemic flora, leading to the largest flamingo lagoon in the archipelago. We’ll visit a green sand beach known for olivine crystals, with another chance to snorkel and potentially spot white-tip reef sharks.

Afterward, we’ll return to the boat for a delicious lunch featuring traditional Ecuadorian cuisine before sailing to Cueva de los Piratas. 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.
