Taking a Bay Tour on Santa Cruz Island is not just another excursion; it is the perfect introduction to the Galapagos environment, it is the most efficient and exciting way to see incredible biodiversity.

Here are the reasons why you should join this adventure:

1. On a half-day tour, cross off your list of the protagonists of the archipelago:

Sea lions: You will see them resting in the Loberia.

Dryer sharks : you will see these whitetip sharks resting in crystal clear water crevices.

Marine Iguanas : Huge colonies sunbathing on volcanic rocks.

Blue-footed boobies : It is very common to see them watching from the cliffs.

2. Unreal geological landscapes
The tour takes you to Las Grietas, one of the most impressive formations on the island. It is a geological fracture of volcanic rocks where fresh water mixes with salt water. Swimming there, among giant basalt walls, is an almost spiritual experience.
