Finch Bay Hotel offers guests many opportunities to get in the water, from paddling, to snorkeling, to surfing, to the chance to experience SCUBA diving in a safe and fun environment. Swim alongside sea turtles, rays, bigeye jacks, and even harmless sharks, mantas, and barracudas. Not to mention the sea lions residing on the beaches that enjoy playing with guests as much as guests enjoy playing with them.

Finch Bay Hotel’s infrastructure and activities are entirely oriented to a concept of true ecotourism. Awarded numerous times for its commitment to the very land and sea on which it’s built, the hotel continues to strive toward the utmost sustainability. Guests enjoy the fine cuisine, from which products are grown right on the grounds or bought locally, and even the landscape where over 500 mangroves were planted. Every aspect of energy use is carefully attended to, from water use, to bath products, to energy consumption.
