Tortuga Bay Galapagos Day Trip

Join us for a day in the Galapagos Islands with a trip to Tortuga Bay. After pickup from your accommodation in Santa Cruz Island, we will embark on a 40-minute walk through the forest to Tortuga Bay.

In the bay, surrounded by mangroves, we will relax at Playa Mansa Beach. Here, you can enjoy the beach, sunbathe, swim, and have lunch at your leisure.

At approximately 2 pm, we will meet at the Tortuga Bay dock to board a boat for an exploration of the bay. We will stop at La Lobería, where you can swim and snorkel with sea lions. Next, we will cruise to the Tunnel of Love, a rock formation with turquoise waters and a viewpoint for spotting oceanic white-tip sharks.

Our next destination is Playa de los Perros Beach, known for its large marine iguana population. The final stop will be a small beach at Punta Estrada before returning. We will drop you off at your hotel after an 8-hour day exploring Tortuga Bay.
