We started our day by exploring the Galapagos Islands beneath the surface with a snorkeling outing on Gardner Islet. Here we saw many fish, including stingrays, pufferfish, king angelfish, and yellowtail surgeonfish. Then we headed to Gardner Beach, where we had a relaxing time walking on one of the most beautiful white sand beaches of the archipelago. At noon, we came back to the ship for lunch. While on board, we enjoyed a photography talk, where we learned tips for our Galapagos adventure. During our afternoon outing, we got great shots of blue-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, red-billed tropicbirds, Galapagos hawks, sea lions, marine iguanas, and many others. There are so many unique creatures only found here in the Galapagos Islands.

Isabela Island
Navigation brought us to the largest island in the Galapagos Archipelago, Isabela. Holding half of all land mass in the Galapagos, it has a diverse selection of ecosystems that we were able to visit. Urvina Bay was geologically uplifted in the 1950’s, taking two square kilometers of seafloor that was thrust upward, in certain areas up to four meters out of the water. Intertidal species were stranded inland, and we walked upon this area. Galapagos giant tortoises and land iguanas were found on our trail, and we were surrounded by Darwin finches and Galapagos mockingbirds. The afternoon brought us to Tagus Cove where we explored the surrounding waters, encountering Galapagos penguins and Pacific green sea turtles swimming among the kayakers and snorkelers. As the sun dipped below the horizon, adventurous hikers took a fast-paced hike to enjoy an incredible view of Darwin Lake and the immense island of Isabela.
