Some of our itineraries offer the opportunity to spend the night on Santa Cruz Island at a small boutique hotel in Puerto Ayora -- a great opportunity to experience Island life at its best! You can dine in a small restaurant, eating the best seafood whilst enjoying the sound of the wind carrying its tropical tunes. Later on, you will have the opportunity to walk around this quaint town and shop for souvenirs. The hotel has a pool for you to swim in and relax, and is located just a short walk away from the Charles Darwin Research Center and minutes from the highlands of Santa Cruz where you can spot giant tortoises in the wild.
