TOUR ITINERARY


We will depart from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno to navigate approximately two hours to get to Española Island. Our first visit on the island will be at Punta Suarez. This visitor site is known for the great number of animals that can be observed. The trail will lead us to the interior of the island, passing through a colony of albatross (present between March and December), and blue-footed and Nazca boobies, before arriving to the marine iguana's territory.

After this visit, we will return to the vessel to enjoy lunch and navigate to Gardner Bay, where we will make our second stop of the day. Gardner Bay is a beautiful white sand beach that is inhabited by a colony of sea lions. At this beach, we will have time to snorkel, swim, or simply relax under the sun. After this visit, we will return from Española Island to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.
