Buccaneer Cove (Santiago Island)
After breakfast, guests will get to explore the coastline along the impressive cliffs of Buccaneer Cove, all while learning about the area’s history. This cove is home to a large number of marine birds, sea lions, and inter-tidal organisms. They’ll also get to marvel at the fantastic geological formations such as “Elephant Rock” and “The Bishop” as well as an impressive natural cave. Guests here will have the chance to go snorkeling, take a ride on the dinghy or the glass-bottom boat.
Puerto Egas (Santiago Island)
After disembarking at the beach here, guests will get to enjoy a swim or snorkeling along the rocky shorelines, typically in the company of marine turtles. From here, the excursion will head off on a walk that gives guests a great opportunity to see both land and marine birds as they skitter about a landscape consisting of tuff-stone layers and lava flows. At low tide, marine iguanas can oftentimes be found grazing upon the algae beds nearby. Guests can also observe a colony of fur-sea lions. After the visit, the whole group will have some additional time for swimming and/or snorkeling.
