Santa Cruz’s main town is Puerto Ayora, which is located on the island’s southeast side. The majority of land tours, scuba-diving tours, and adventure tours originate and/or are based here. Visitors intending to arrange cruise tours locally will stay here waiting for availability on boats to open up. And virtually every cruise tour makes a day stop here—usually near the half-way point of an eight-day trip or at the extremes of the four or five-day trip—so that visitors can visit the Charles Darwin Research Station and highlands and stock up on medicine, film, batteries, and snacks if supplies are beginning to run low.
