The paradisiac waters of the bay of Santa Fe Island and Playa Escondida await on this day trip from Santa Cruz Island. You'll snorkel among sea turtles and tropical fish!

Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Santa Cruz and take you to the Puerto Ayora pier, where we'll start an approximately 1-hour boat ride to Santa Fe.

This small island, located between Santa Cruz and San Cristobal, is one of the oldest and has one of the most beautiful turquoise water lagoons in the Galápagos Islands. Here, you'll experience snorkelling in its bay while swimming with tropical fish, sea turtles, eagle rays, golden rays, gray reef sharks, blue sharks, and sea lions.

Afterward, you'll have a lunch on board as we sail toward Playa Escondida, located on southeastern Santa Cruz. Here, you can relax on the white sand beach, stroll along its shore, and observe marine iguanas, Sally Lightfoot crabs, baby sharks, and coastal birds.

Finally, we'll return to the starting point, concluding this day trip after a total of 7.5 hours.
