What to expect

Santa Cruz Island is the first most inhabited island in Galapagos. If you are a nature lover this will be your favorite place! This tour takes you to different emblematic sights of the Galapagos Islands. First, you will make a visit to the Loberia, a small island located two miles away from where the sea lions are. In the seabed, there are a lot of invertebrates, fish, and sea lions which can be seen during the tour.

The itinerary continues to Las Grietas, where you are going to make a fifteen-minute walk and you will see Darwin's finches, shorebirds and lagoon, endemic and native vegetation. Cracks are continuing channels sharks and love, just inland, where the water is less salty. Here you can make snorkeling and swimming.

Finally, you will visit La Playa de Los Perros where you'll have the option to take a hike. This beach was named like this for the large number of dog crabs found in the area, along with the biggest marine iguanas of Santa Cruz Island. Once all the activities are done you will back at Puerto Ayora where the tour ends.
