Santa Fe Island & Playa Escondida Snorkelling Tour

  • 7 reviews | 73 travellers
    The very professional guide. He gave magnificent explanations of all the places we visited, as well as the characteristics of the Galapagos Islands. His concern was constant. Snorkeling for the first incredible bonito dive. The second least spectacular. This tour is highly recommended.

Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Santa Cruz and take you to the Puerto Ayora pier, where we'll take an approximately 1-hour boat ride to Santa Fe. 

This small island, located between Santa Cruz and San Cristobal, is one of the oldest and has one of the most beautiful turquoise water lagoons in the Galápagos Islands. Here, you'll enjoy an unforgettable snorkelling experience in its bay as you swim with tropical fish, sea turtles, eagle rays, golden rays, gray reef sharks, blue sharks, and even playful sea lions.

Afterward, you'll revitalize with a delicious lunch on board as we sail toward the paradisiac Playa Escondida, a gem on southeastern Santa Cruz. Here, you can relax on its white sand beach, stroll along its shore, and observe the marine iguanasSally Lightfoot crabsbaby sharks, and coastal birds that inhabit the area. 

Finally, we'll return to the starting point, where we'll conclude this day trip after a total of 7.5 hours.
