What you'll do

Tortuga Bay Beach
Ecuador
After the 50-minute walk to reach Tortuga Bay, we will be greeted by two different faces of this stunning white sand beach. First, we will pass by "Playa Brava", a paradise for surfers. Then, we will head towards a tranquil pool where we can observe large marine iguanas up close as they bask in the sun. We will continue our journey towards a lookout point that offers spectacular views of the coast, before reaching the other side of Tortuga Bay, where a marvellous beach with very calm water offers the perfect place for our snorkel activity. We will also explore a trail that will lead us to sightings of different endemic bird species. After this exploration walk, you will have the opportunity to snorkel from the beach, in very calm water and along the beautiful mangroves, to some hidden spots with many sea turltes, schools of rays and little baby reef sharks that your local underwater specialist will lead you to. For the way back, we comfortably embark on a speedboat to Puerto Ayora.
