Floreana Island Tour

Discover the beautiful nature and fascinating history of Floreana Island on this day trip from Santa Cruz Island. Pirates, whalers and an intriguing post box... what are you waiting for?

Description

At 7:45 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel and drive to the south of Santa Cruz Island. Here you'll find the Puerto Ayora pier, where we'll depart in the direction of Floreana, one of the populated islands of the Galapagos.

The crossing will last 1 hour 30 minutes, taking us first to Enderby Islet. There we'll observe native birds, including boobies, gulls, and frigate birds. Snorkelling is available if weather permits.

You'll have the chance to enjoy a fishing activity before heading to Las Cuevas. Floreana Island has a rich history involving whalers, pirates, and early settlers who contributed to its fame.

After lunch, we'll visit Punta Cormorant. This area north of Floreana features extensive sandy beaches of various colors and one of the largest flamingo lagoons in the Galapagos. The volcanic formation includes craters that house reefs, providing excellent opportunities for swimming and snorkelling.

Finally, we will return to Puerto Ayora at 4 pm.
