Slip beneath the surface at Borrero Bay, Daphne's sheltered snorkel jewel, where white-tipped reef sharks patrol sandy corridors, eagle rays soar past volcanic boulders, and curious sea lions treat snorkellers as playmates.
What to expect
Borrero Bay's calm, warm water offers exceptional visibility, revealing a reef architecture of lava formations draped in colourful marine life. White-tipped reef sharks rest motionless on the sandy floor while golden rays sweep past in slow, majestic arcs. Overhead, brown pelicans crash-dive in spectacular plunges, and a colony of sea lions takes a keen interest in your fins. This is the Galápagos in full, unfiltered glory.
