Giant iguanas, sea lions and spectacular volcanic landscapes.. Discover the magic of Santa Cruz Island on this unforgettable boat cruise!
Santa Cruz Island Boat Tour
At the time of your choice, we'll pick you up from your hotel and take you to the passenger pier of Santa Cruz Island. Ready for an exciting boat trip?
Our first location will be Punta Estrada: a small gulf where you can see frigate birds, sea lions and more. After checking out the local fauna, we'll move on to the Shark Channel, learning all about how this magmatic fissure got its name as we approach its lava rocks.
Then, we'll make our way to Playa de los Perros, where we'll find numerous crabs as well as the largest marine iguanas in the world! Here, we'll disembark and go on a short walk along a trail to observe the coastal vegetation and fauna.
Before returning to the boat via the same trail, we'll make a stop at Las Tintoreras, a most peculiar place. Next, we'll sail to Las Grietas, where we'll go on another hike to go swimming and snorkeling.
Finally, after a 3.5-hour tour, we'll dock at the passenger pier and take you back to your hotel.
