The 33-room hotel integrates sustainability across operations, from carbon-neutral certification and solar energy use to water conservation and community support initiatives. Notably, the property sources approximately 40 percent of its food and beverage offerings locally.

Nature Walks, Cultural Immersion & More

New offerings include guided sunrise walks to Tortuga Bay, where guests traverse coastal trails, and snorkeling excursions directly from the hotel’s beach. Additional experiences range from nature walks highlighting endemic flora and fauna to evening talks led by the hotel’s Expedition Manager, covering geology, biodiversity and conservation.

Cultural immersion also plays a central role. Guests can explore Puerto Ayora through guided art and history walks, while stargazing sessions leverage the islands’ minimal light pollution to connect travelers with the natural environment after dark.

Accommodations reflect a parallel focus on comfort and sustainability, with updated Premium Rooms, Suites and new Evolution Suites designed to meet demand for more spacious, upscale stays without compromising environmental responsibility.

With additional experiences such as kayaking, yacht excursions to uninhabited islands and culinary classes featuring local ingredients, Finch Bay positions itself as both a base and a gateway to the archipelago.
