Santa Cruz Island Boat Tour

At the time of your choice, you will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the passenger pier of Santa Cruz Island. Ready for an exciting boat trip?

Your first location will be Punta Estrada: a small gulf where you can see frigate birds, sea lions, and more. After observing the local fauna, the next stop will be the Shark Channel, where you will learn about how this magmatic fissure got its name as you approach its lava rocks.

Then, the boat will head to Playa de los Perros, home to numerous crabs and the largest marine iguanas in the world! At this stop, you will disembark for a short walk along a trail to observe the coastal vegetation and fauna.

Before returning to the boat, there will be a brief stop at Las Tintoreras, a most peculiar place. Next, you will sail to Las Grietas, where another hike will lead you to swimming and snorkeling opportunities.

Finally, after a 3.5-hour tour, you will dock at the passenger pier and be taken back to your hotel.
