Today we started early in the morning as we navigated to the youngest, western islands in the Galapagos, Fernandina and Isabela. We found marine mammals and many seabirds, and we were mesmerized by the volcanoes all around us.
We made a dry landing to enjoy a 1.5-mile trail among a mess of marine iguanas. Our adventure was made even more special as two of our own got engaged this morning, and it was very emotional to us all. Wishing the best of love to Allison and Brian. We love you!
Soon after the festivities, we enjoyed an impressive snorkeling outing with marine iguanas, turtles, octopus, sea lions, marine iguanas, and fish.
Back on board and repositioned to our next visitor site, Isabela Island, for a Zodiac ride along the shore. Today we saw the Galapagos penguin up close and many more seabirds, sea lions, and fur-seals.
We continued navigating, this time towards the equator to celebrate our expedition and an engagement fiesta among our new friends.
Right now, we are in the lounge for our recap and briefing about tomorrow’s activities, ready for more magic from the Enchanted Islands. Today was a very special day.
