Red Mangrove Inn

Galapagos Islands

Ecuador

The Red Mangrove Adventure Inn is an intimate, relaxing, and unique ecological paradise. It is our pleasure to present You the only Galapagos hotel {Puerto Ayora} that was built in the middle of magical and captivating red mangrove right on academy bay.

The Red Mangrove Inn is one of the unique places on earth where beauty, tranquility and ambiance merge. This Galapagos hotel is situated in a grove of wild red mangrove perched on the edge of the blue sea, the Inn is peacefully removed from the hustle and bustle of town, yet only a stone's throw from the Charles Darwin Station and downtown Puerto Ayora.

Step through the entrance of the Red Mangrove Inn and you will feel that you have entered a realm of magic and imagination last seen in childhood.

There, though only feet from Puerto Ayora, its is not unlikely to see a Yellow-crowned Night Heron. Red Mangrove Inn room  - Puerto Ayora - Santa Cruz - Galapagos Islands

Upon entering the inn itself, you will find rooms decorated with an artist's touch. Tastefully exposed wooden beams and pleasingly tiled bathrooms lie within white rooms that reflect the sun as it shines in from across the sea.

Guests typically start their day on the Inn's waterfront terrace, often in the company of sun-basking marine iguanas, scuttling Sally Lightfoot crabs and soaring Frigate birds.

Following breakfast, an array of activities can be enjoyed such as 4x4 jeep tours in the highlands, horseback riding, mountain biking, bay tours, kayaking, or just relaxing on the terrace with the sun, the sea, and salty-fresh island breeze.

Our quality mountain bikes allow you to explore the back roads of the colonised areas of Santa Cruz's highlands. Visit farmers who live in a world of peace and tranquillity, and stop along the way to sample some of the local fruit, right off the trees. Endemic vegetation, lava tunnels, birds and tortoises.

"Horseback-Riding"
The horses we ride are direct descendants of a group of pure-bred animals brought to the island by an American colonist, prior to Galapagos becoming a national park. These horses have since lost their purity, adapting to the rugged volcanic landscape, thus allowing you a safe ride through some of the most beautiful regions of our islands. Enjoy our farms, fruit, tortoises and birds.

"Sea Kayaking Tour"
Our ocean kayaks offer you the chance to explore hidden water inlets and snorkel with playful sea lions and turtles, or watch the harmless white-tip sharks cruising just below you - you will feel you are part of the marine ecosystem. We invite you to enjoy a great snorkelling experience.

Our fully equipped boat will take you from the hotel's own dock to "Loberia" island - named after its large colony of sea-lions (lobos) - about 10 minutes away. This small island is a great place to snorkel in amongst sea turtles and a great variety of colourful fish, and for playing with the ever-friendly and inquisitive sea lions. The next destination will be "Lover's Tunnel", which has a great viewpoint from where you can watch resting white-tip sharks. From there we return to the boat and sail to Punta Estrada's dock, where we'll go on a walk to watch marine iguanas living on the so-called "Dogs' Beach", before finally returning to the hotel.
