What you can expect

  • Enjoy a private day exploring two of Santa Cruz Island’s most iconic attractions. From pristine white-sand shores to unique wildlife and fascinating marine landscapes, this tour blends relaxation, exploration, and natural beauty.

    Begin with hotel pickup at 8:30 am and a short drive to the trailhead for Tortuga Bay Beach. Walk along a scenic 2.5 km (1.5 mi) path to reach this unspoiled stretch of coastline, where white sands meet turquoise waters. Spot marine iguanas basking in the sun and colorful beach crabs scurrying across the shore. Swimming is permitted in the calm mangrove lagoon, offering a peaceful retreat.

    After lunch, head to Las Grietas, a striking natural crevice where seawater and freshwater mix. Swim or snorkel in the crystal-clear water, surrounded by dramatic volcanic rock walls and an array of marine life.
