About the area

Located in Puerto Ayora, Galapagos Dreams is in the city centre and near the beach. While the natural beauty of Galápagos National Park and Academy Bay can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Las Grietas. Charles Darwin Research Station and Malecon are two other places to visit that come recommended. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and ecotours nearby.
