Floreana Island Full Day Tour Including Hiking and Snorkeling

Departure from Puerto Ayora at 8:00 a.m. to board the yacht that will take you to Floreana Island. Visit Enderby islet where will sail around the island to see different species of birds such as blue-footed booby, frigates, seagulls, etc. If weather conditions allow us this is a perfect spot for snorkeling. This is the habitat of sea lions, turtles, exotic fish, thousands of tropical fish, barracudas, black coral, whitetip and Galapagos sharks, moray eels, some hammerheads, and eagle rays.

After lunch, we visit Cormorant Point on the archipelago’s southern Floreana Island, which features a golden-greenish beach rich in olivine. It`s a collection of volcanic crystals originating in the Earth’s mantle and composed of aluminum, silica, magnesium, and iron, as well as eroded tuff, remains, all of which are responsible for the sand’s unique color. Not far inland, a brackish lake home to a variety of migratory and coastal birds is also ideal for flamingo-watching.

Return to Puerto Ayora.
