The last day of our expedition brought us to the northern island of Genovesa. At Darwin Bay, we enjoyed observing a good number of juvenile red-footed boobies practicing their flying abilities. What a sight! Our kayaks were deployed for one last time, two rounds of kayaking were offered in the calm area of the sunken caldera. Snorkeling along the high cliffs of Genovesa was the complement to a great morning, where many colorful tropical fishes were seen.
Genovesa Island holds the largest colony of red-footed boobies on Earth, among Nazca boobies, great frigatebirds, red-billed tropicbirds, and the short-eared owl, which has taken over the position of the top predator and now is hunting during daytime.
A wonderful sunset ended a spectacular day in paradise!
