Finch Bay Hotel Island Escape

Upon arrival at Baltra airport, meet your guide to transfer to Finch Bay Eco Hotel.

Finch Bay has created a program so you can enjoy as much of the local area as you want. You have the opportunity to board the hotel’s yacht for Bartolomé or North Seymour Island. The volcanic Bartolomé hosts the famous Pinnacle Rock, home to Galapagos penguins, the only species of penguin found north of the equator While on North Seymour you will find the largest frigate bird nesting site and a green sea turtle nesting area on the white sands of Bachas Beach, great for snorkelling. This island is teaming with life! You might have to give way to a passing sea lion or marine iguana; blue-footed booby nests sit beside the trail where mating pairs perform their courtship dance.
