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 take 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 enjoy an unforgettable snorkelling experience in its bay as you swim with tropical fish, sea turtles, eagle rays, golden rays, gray reef sharks, blue sharks, and playful sea lions.

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

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