Guests of **Pikaia Lodge** are continuing to access Santa Fe Island as part of the lodge’s all-inclusive exploration program, arriving aboard the private yacht **M/Y Vision Pikaia**. The island’s protected bay is home to one of the Galápagos’ most established sea lion colonies, offering favorable conditions for guided snorkeling activities. Under the supervision of certified naturalist guides and in accordance with national park regulations, guests have the opportunity to swim in close proximity to sea lions in calm, clear waters. The experience forms part of Pikaia’s integrated land-and-sea model, combining boutique accommodations with private yacht navigation and small-group wildlife encounters.
