About this trip
Explore Tortuga Bay in a unique way !
Tortuga Bay is an amazing white sand beach near by Puerto Ayora. Accessible from town hiking. A great spot for and active morning or afternoon combining hiking + kayaking.
Meet your Naturalist Guide at your hotel and start walking to Tortuga Bay. Once we signed up at the National Park checkpoint we continue along a paved trail crossing an amazing cactus and palo santo forest. Mocking birds and finches flutter around the vegetation looking for seeds and insects while Galapagos lava lizards warm up on the rocks and keep their territories.
Once you get Tortuga Bay - walk along a soft white sand beach and observe a small colony of Galapagos Marine Iguanas.
Then go kayaking in calm water with your guide that leads you along a mangrove area looking for marine turtles, white tipped reef sharks and probably some rays !
