The charming Finch Bay - named after the famous Darwin's Finches abundant in the surroundings - is just steps from the beach on a private seaside location, surrounded by mangroves. Here guests can cherish the privacy, natural surroundings and superb service offered by the Finch Bay Eco Hotel.
Located on Santa Cruz Island at Punta Estrada the Finch Bay is across the bay from the town of Puerto Ayora. This Galapagos Island Hotel is situated in a quiet location, with only pedestrian and bicycle circulation - there are no cars in the neighborhood.
Finch Bay has 6 ocean-view Suites and 21 premium rooms (with twin or king-size beds), each with private facilities, air conditioning and unlimited water supply, as the hotel has its own desalinization plant. This ecologically oriented hotel also boasts innovative garbage processing and recycling programs. The entire infrastructure as well as the activities are totally oriented to a concept of true ecotourism in a pristine natural environment.
Delicious healthy international and Galapagos inspired menus are prepared daily by our chef, using the freshest ingredients. In addition to the Finch Bay Hotels pool they now offer equipment for snorkeling and kayaking in the Galapagos Marine Reserve, the second largest in the planet. Right in front of the Finch Bay Hotel at Punta Estrada Bay, beginners can practice kayaking, and a short distance away is Academy Bay, an excellent location to explore by kayak. Each of the 8 available kayaks is designed to hold two participants. The hotel will advise the hours of high tide – the best time for this activity.
Finch Bay is easily accessible. After a two-hour flight from Ecuador's mainland, guests arrive to the airport of Baltra in the Galapagos and then take overland transportation to Puerto Ayora and the Finch Bay. Finch Bay is the only full-service Galapagos Eco-Hotel situated directly on a beach.
