  • 5Fantastic arrival to Galapagos!

    Eduardo was awesome to work with. We had to change our plans last minute and arrive a day early. He did everything to help accommodate us and we had an amazing arrival to Galapagos. The turtle farm tour was so much fun and the lunch was delicious. All of our picky group loved the restaurant. We learned a much about the history of Galapagos and the giant turtles. The bus was comfy and cool. It was a fantastic day!

  • 5A long ride for an experience we mostly could have had where we were.

    A long transfer for an experience available right where we were in Puerto Ayora. It is a 2 hour boat ride each way to Isla Isabella. The turtle farm there is virtually the same as the Charles Darwin Research Station in Purto Ayora. The lunch was at a restaurant away from the water. The food there was mediocre at best. The snorkeling was in the bay right by the docks, and the underwater visibility was not very good. We did see some flamingos, blue footed boobies, sharks, lots of marine iguanas and a penguin though.

About Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz is the most populated island of the Galápagos, a volcanic island of lava tunnels, giant tortoises and sea lions on the harbour front.

Santa Cruz lies at the centre of the Galápagos Islands, about a thousand kilometres west of mainland Ecuador. Puerto Ayora is its main town, where sea lions doze on benches and pelicans wait at the fish market. The Charles Darwin Research Station, on the edge of town, runs breeding programmes for giant tortoises, and a walking path leads to Tortuga Bay, a long white beach where marine iguanas feed on the rocks.
