Embark on a journey to the stunning province of Santa Elena and explore its natural beauty with this day trip to Salinas and Ballenita Beach. This excursion highlights two prominent attractions of the Ecuadorian coast.
Description
Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Guayaquil at 8:30 am, as we set off towards the east to the captivating Santa Elena province, renowned for its abundant tourist spots.
The first stop is the eponymous peninsula, where you’ll uncover the wonders of the Salinas Spa, recognized as Ecuador's premier spa destination. After reveling in the fascinating thermal properties of the area’s waters, the tour continues to explore Salinas, including the stunning El Morro viewpoint, Punta Lobeira, and the picturesque Chocolatera Beach, home to playful sea lions and seagulls.
Following some leisure time at the beach, your next destination is the Nautical Museum, where you can enjoy a delightful lunch while overlooking the ocean. The restaurant serves as a unique viewpoint!
Rejuvenated, we will then make our way to Ballenita, known for its beautiful beaches. Here, you’ll be granted free time to stroll along the sandy shores, take a refreshing swim, or capture the breathtaking scenery.
As the day wraps up, we will head back to your hotel in Guayaquil, with an anticipated arrival time of 4:30 pm.
