Santa Cruz’s position in the center of the Galápagos Islands makes it an active hub to the other islands. There are plenty of options for coming and going. International tourists arriving at Baltra airport can take a short ferry across the Itabaca Channel and then a bus to Puerto Ayora. Speed boats here provide transportation to the inhabited islands of Isabela and San Cristóbal. These water taxis along the pier offer rides to boats anchored in the harbor. But for getting around Puerto Ayora, all you need is your two feet. The town is easy and delightful to explore.
