Hotel Finch Bay Diving packages

Galapagos Islands

Ecuador

Until now, most Galapagos diving has featured live-aboard diving. And by all means, such diving option will be quite amazing, and certainly rewarding. Since 2003, a new operation based on Santa Cruz Island was launched, as the greatest addition to the scuba diving options available. Finch Bay Eco Hotel offers the best accommodations available, white-coral beach access (the only hotel with pool in Santa Cruz Island right at the beach), multisport activities -like kayaking, mountain biking and hiking- air conditioned rooms, and outstanding service. Island cuisine with local and international flavors will add to anyone's stay.

Finch Bay has joined efforts with the most reliable local dive operators, for its scuba diving programs. The operators'experience rate high in critical areas such as safety, service, knowledge, equipment and support. Their day-trip dive boats will allow divers to reach dive sites efficiently, and while on board, divers receive full details regarding dive conditions, share the diving experience, and of course, camaraderie will be top notch. The local dive operators have PADI-registered facilities, and all comply with the international safety standards of the diving community.
