About this activity

This experience combines nature, wildlife, and adventure in one of the most special places on Ecuador’s coast. Located within Machalilla National Park, Isla de la Plata is known as the “Galápagos of the mainland” thanks to its remarkable diversity of wildlife.

During the excursion, you will have the opportunity to observe iconic seabirds, enjoy a guided hike across the island, and go snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. In season, you may also witness the impressive sight of humpback whales during the whale-watching period.
