Santa Cruz Island Boat Expedition

At your chosen time, we will coordinate your pickup from your accommodation and transport you to the passenger pier on Santa Cruz Island. Are you ready to embark on an adventurous boat journey?

Your exploration begins at Punta Estrada, a tranquil bay where you can observe various frigate birds, sea lions, and other wildlife. Following this encounter with the abundant local fauna, we'll proceed to the Shark Channel, where you will learn about the origins of this intriguing magmatic fissure while approaching its distinctive lava formations.

Next, we will head towards Playa de los Perros, home to a variety of crabs and the world's largest marine iguanas. Here, we’ll disembark for a short trek along a scenic trail, allowing us to appreciate the coastal vegetation and wildlife.

As we return to the boat through the same path, we will pause at the unique site of Las Tintoreras. Our journey continues with a sail to Las Grietas, where we will engage in another hike for swimming and snorkeling opportunities.

In conclusion, after a 3.5-hour adventure, we will return to the passenger pier and transport you back to your hotel.
