More about this tour
It is a place of great natural interest due to the richness of its marine wildlife. Its crystal-clear waters are ideal for snorkeling, where it is possible to swim alongside sea turtles, sea lions, marine iguanas, schools of tropical fish, and occasionally dolphins. This volcanic island, with an area of 18 km² and elevations of up to 458 m, offers travelers a peaceful and authentic experience in close contact with nature.
On its coasts, it is also possible to observe seabirds such as blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, and, during the cold season, Galápagos penguins, which add a special charm to the tour.
The tour begins at the meeting point with the passengers and heads to the dock to take a water taxi. Then, the speedboat departs from Puerto Ayora towards the island, on a journey of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
The first snorkeling session takes place at Penguin Bay, where sea turtles, sea lions, and colorful fish can be seen. The second snorkeling session is at La Fe Beach, with calm and crystal-clear waters, ideal for observing turtles, rays, and tropical fish.
Around 12:30 pm, lunch is served on board, followed by a live fishing demonstration. Finally, the tour returns to Puerto Ayora, with an approximate arrival at 3:00 pm, completing a full-day tour.
