Santa Fe Island Snorkeling and Hidden Beach Experience

Begin your adventure to Santa Fe Island with a navigation of approximately 45 minutes.
Santa Fe is very special and recognized for having the clearest water in the Galapagos - turquoise waters - and for preserving within its bay some of the best marine life in the islands. Here, you will enjoy two beautiful snorkeling or swimming sessions with baby manta rays, baby sea lions, sea turtles, and a reef full of colourful fish endemic to the area.
Next, take part in an experiential (interactive) fishing activity lasting between 20 and 45 minutes. Depending on the catch, the group may prepare Sashimi or Ceviche as an appetizer.
Then head for a landing at Hidden Beach, where you will have free time for photography, swimming, snorkeling, or simply resting on the sand. You will also be able to observe bay sharks and the nesting time of marine iguanas, a special activity in the Galapagos.
