Plata Island Day Trip

At 6:30 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Manta and travel by minibus to Machalilla National Park, a protected area on the Ecuadorian coast. We will enjoy ocean views until we reach Puerto López, where we'll board a boat to Plata Island.

We will leave the coast of Manabí and head towards the island known as "the small Galapagos." There will be opportunities to see exotic birds and, depending on the season, humpback whales, which migrate from Antarctica every summer.

Upon arrival at Plata Island, you will observe its steep volcanic cliffs and diverse vegetation, as well as learn about its famous inhabitants, including sea turtles in this oasis of biodiversity.

We will return to the boat for a lunch on board during our journey back to Puerto López, featuring a local dish and dessert. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore the town before we return to the minibus for the trip back to Manta, arriving at your hotel by 2:30 pm.
