Galapagos Islands tours visitor site - Ochoa beach

Ochoa beach is very close to Puerto Baquerizo moreno airport and usually is the first visit on many cruise trips.  

A small Island just an hour from San Cristobal Island. A subtle introduction to the Galapagos Islands. It is an easy wet landing with a short trail leading to a sand beach good for swimming.

Pelicans and other Galapagos sea birds fly up overhead. There is a small tidal lagoon behind the beach where sea birds can be observed as well as the rare Chatham mockingbird. 

This is a great place to practice your snorkelling skills and ask your guide for some tips on how to improve them before taking on the more exciting sites.
