Highlights
- Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel - The Kayak adventure begins in Playa de los Alemanes, exploring the mangroves and lava stone reef, passing through the colorful iguana islet channel where turtles and reef fish regularly live. The next stop will be to observe the life that flies above us, lava gulls, blue-footed boobies, frigates and even tropical birds live on the wall of Punta Estrada. Moving comfortably with the current that enters Franklin Bay, we can visit the Canal of Love, a place well known for its striking colors, tranquility and presence of nocturnal seagulls. We will advance exploring the mangroves of Franklin Bay, looking for hunting seabird activity and turtles that also feed in the area. We will pass by private docks where families of sea lions rest and if conditions allow, we will explore the interior of the mangrove where whitetip sharks are sometimes found resting on the bottom. To finish the program we anchor the kayaks in a safe area and jump into the water to explore lots of underwater life with snorkeling! We return to the kayaks, paddle to Playa de los Alemanes and the program will be over.

Super Mario is the best - Ended up being the only kayaker that morning so I got a private tour with Mario. He is probably one of the best guides I've had on one of these tours.
The paddling was easy despite going out into the open ocean. With the kayak you are able to get into the small areas you can't with a big boat so you get to see way more and enjoy the quiet spots without the crowds.
We saw rays, sharks, turtles, so many birds including the blue footed boobies and so many fish while snorkeling.
Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an activity to do while on Santa Cruz. The website says 6-4pm time range but they will reach out to you the day before to let you know when to arrive. The timing is scheduled to coincide with the tide.
