Join us for an enchanting day tour of the fascinating Sombrero Chino, as it’s called in Spanish. This inactive volcano islet, located near Santiago Island, has a peculiar shape that resembles a traditional Chinese hat. That’s why its name.
Upon disembarking on its pristine white sand beach, after two hours of sailing from the Itabaca Channel, you'll be stepping into a world of dramatic contrasts. We'll explore rugged lava formations, creating an otherworldly backdrop for our adventure. The landscape here is not just unique; it's breathtakingly beautiful, with a mix of rough lava flows and soft, inviting sands.
Get ready to encounter the playful Galapagos sea lions, who often grace the beaches of Chinese Hat. These friendly creatures highlight the island, offering up-close encounters in their natural habitat. And keep your eyes peeled for the marine iguanas basking in the sun – these prehistoric-looking creatures are a sight to behold.
