Daphne Major, an impressive crater north of Santa Cruz, is home to many seabirds that nest along its rocky cliffs. Landing is not allowed, but it is the perfect place for unforgettable birdwatching and snorkeling. The trip continues to Bahia Borrero, a beautiful white sand beach with turquoise water, where you often find many sea turtles and endemic birds such as lava herons, gulls and pelicans.
