It is our first full day in the Galapagos Islands aboard National Geographic Islander. We had an early wake up call to hike up to the summit of Bartolome to enjoy an incredible view of the island. Later in the morning, we all went to a beautiful golden sand beach, and we had the chance to swim with penguins. Later in the day, National Geographic Islander moved to our next destination, Dragon Hill, which is located on the north shore of Santa Cruz Island. We went to explore this place and found land iguanas everywhere. We ended the day with an incredible sunset.
