Wildlife Observation

Some off the most unusual and fascinating species in the world, both terrestrial and marine, are found in the Galapagos Islands. Here most off the surface (96%) is a National Park, surrounded by a protected Marine Reserve, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. On Santa Cruz Island, the giant tortoises can be seen at the Charles Darwin Research Station (including famous Lonesome George, the only remaining tortoise from Pinta Island) and also in the wild, in the Highlands of this island.

BirdWatching

A total of 140 species of birds have been registered in Galapagos. About half off the resident birds cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. The hotel's natural surroundings provide an excellent setting for bird watching. On its premises you can observe shore and lagoon birds such as ducks, stilts, herons, warblers, pelicans and frigates all easily approachable, just like all the Galapagos' wildlife. Eight species of Darwin's Finches are found on Santa Cruz Island; most of which can be observed in the Hotel's gardens and surroundings. Charles Darwin found enough evidence to support his theory of evolución by studying the different beaks of these finches.

Sea Kayaking

Right behind the Finch Bay Hotel is Devine Bay, an excellent location to explore by kayak, each is designed to hold two participants. Here you get an up close look at sharks, sea turtles, rays, fish, and a variety of marine birds. Beginners can practice kayaking at the hotel's secluded beach before heading out to sea.

Horseback Riding

Enjoy horseback riding along paths on the hillsides of Santa Cruz with their spectacular scenery and unique wildlife all around. One of the least known regions of the Galapagos, the Highlands offer a new and different world for curious visitors.

Snorkeling and Diving

Galapagos is considered a world premier destination for Scuba diving and Snorkeling. The protected waters of its Marine Reserve have been well preserved, nearly untouched by external sources. Here the crossroads of marine currents has resulted in a unique marine ecosystem. The Hotel Finch Bay provides Snorkeling gear for free, and Scuba diving programs' are available for a fee.

Biking - Mountain bikes

, gloves and helmets are available for a fee for Finch Bay Hotel guests. To begin your adventure, private transportation will take bikes and guests to the highlands of Santa Cruz.

Most of the ride is downhill on moderate terrain (gravel and small rocks). Right behind the beach there is an amazing brackish water pond where pin tail ducks, common stilts, and even flamingos can be observed. Previous mountain biking experience is highly recommended. Guests return to Puerto Ayora by private transportation. ROUTE 2: Bike Quest for Giant Tortoises. From the highlands of Santa Cruz ride about 14 kilometers (8 miles) on paved and dirt roads of medium difficulty. Arrive at the El Chato Tortoise Reserve and then take a 45-minute hike within the reserve. In addition to the giant tortoises, look for flycatchers, gallinules, rails, and Darwin's finches. Previous biking experience is suggested. Return to Puerto Ayora by private transportation.

Hike To Tortuga Bay

Other species found here are pelicans, Darwin's finches, Galapagos mockingbirds, doves, and marine iguanas. Excellent bird watching can be found along the way. Right at the shoreline is great chance to observe migrant shore birds.
