Day 1: Quito to Puerto López and Night Dive Begin your journey with a scenic drive from Quito to Puerto López, taking in the stunning landscapes along the way. Upon arrival, check in to your beachfront hotel and unwind with a stroll along the boardwalk or a relaxing moment on the beach. As evening falls, head to the pier and board a boat to Isla Salango. Experience the magic of a night dive, where you can witness the mesmerizing glow of bioluminescent plankton. Return to Puerto López and enjoy a free evening to savor local seafood dishes. Day 2: Private Boat Adventure, Snorkeling, and Subwing Start your day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel or a seaside restaurant. Then, board a private boat and set sail for a nearby islet, such as the waters around Salango or Isla de la Plata. Spend the day snorkeling, trying out subwing (a thrilling water activity that lets you 'fly' underwater), and swimming in the crystal-clear waters. Enjoy a boxed snack on board before returning to your hotel for a well-deserved rest. In the evening, explore Puerto López at your leisure, with options to dine, stroll along the beach, or soak up the local nightlife. Day 3: Return to Quito After breakfast, check out of your hotel and take some time for last-minute souvenir shopping or capturing photos on the beach.
