Written by the company

Finch Bay is your ideal home base from which to discover the wildlife of the islands aboard our private yacht and create your own adventures on land and sea. The perfect complement to a Galapagos cruise, or a destination on its own, allows you to feel the islands’ essence. Direct, intimate contact with wildlife is inevitable: we’re surrounded by a protected national park whose feathered and scaly residents like to drop in on us from time to time…

Anddy Males - gold star!

Anddy Males has been second to none in our planning for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Finch Bay, Galapagos! His communication went above and beyond and he has left no stone unturned. He is professional, yet so friendly that we actually feel as though we are coming to visit a friend. Anddy is indeed a valuable asset to Finch Bay. If this is the prelude to our experience, I can only imagine it will be more than we could possibly have hoped for.
