An early morning excursion is always invigorating. The sun rising behind the mountains of Isabela Island blended very well with an ocean as calm as glass and the spouting of an unidentified whale that always managed to conceal its identity behind the waves.
The visit to Punta Espinoza was unsurprisingly wonderful. The sea lions, marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, and Galapagos hawks were there in all their glory. The snorkeling also offered plenty to see.
The sunny Zodiac ride at Punta Vicente Roca was also very productive. We enjoyed flightless cormorants, sea turtles, brown noddies, pelicans, and boobies surrounded by a landscape to die for. It was a great day.
