The portal today popped everyone out at Puerto Ayora, and the walk to Tortuga Bay takes about an hour!
Tortuga Bay is popular for a visit, not just because it is a stunning beach but also because it is home to a wide range of Galapagos Islands wildlife species. There are marine iguanas here, as well as the brightly colored Sally Lightfoot crab. Brown pelicans can also be found here, and sea turtles nest in the white sand on the beach. Flamingos can be seen at times in the lagoon which sits behind the beach. You may also spy a few blue footed boobies. The vegetation in the area is also interesting. You’ll see Palo Santo trees, cacti and salt bushes, among others.
Bird watching and snorkeling are also available, once you arrive at Tortuga Bay.
