It was our first full day of our expedition on board the National Geographic Islander and we had a great early hike towards the summit of Bartolome Island. We enjoyed wonderful weather conditions. After breakfast the water activities began with snorkeling off the golden sandy beach, as well as snorkeling off the Zodiacs. Both were awesome and penguins, sharks and colorful fish were observed! After a delicious Ecuadorian lunch, the ship was repositioned towards Rabida Island, the red island. Here several options were offered, including kayaking, snorkeling and an easy stroll along the red sandy beach. A day full of activities came to an end, and tomorrow the adventure will continue!

Isabela and Fernandina
Our day began with the chance to point out a lot of interesting geological features as we enjoyed Zodiac tours along a massive flank of Ecuador Volcano on Punta Vicente Roca. In the afternoon, we took a sunny walk on Punta Espinoza on Fernandina Island. We spotted many iguanas, and a bunch of sea lions hanging around, too.

North Seymour & Rabida Islands
Relatively small and low compared to neighboring Santa Cruz, North Seymour is located to the north of Baltra. The island is dry with predominantly low shrubs, like prickly pear cacti. The incense trees are bare during the dry season. Seabirds like frigatebirds and blue-footed boobies nest on the island, and sea lions rest on the sand when they are not fishing. Land and marine iguanas also live here. Rabida is in the middle of the archipelago and has a striking red sand beach. We observed a small colony of sea lions of all ages resting or nursing. Behind the beach, American flamingos nest in a brackish lagoon. This island is full of contrasts and wildlife that we enjoyed observing during this day of expedition.
