San Cristobal Island is always full of surprises. In the morning we visited Punta Pitt; the outstanding landscape and the creatures of this place made our guests feel a sense of wonder about these islands. In the afternoon we visited Cerro Brujo, one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Galapagos. After a relaxing walk along this beach we departed toward Kicker Rock — and along the way a large pod of bottlenose dolphins joined our boat, offering us one of the most outstanding moments of the day.

Isabela Island
Today we continued exploring the young island of Isabela. We first visited Urbina Bay, a beautiful site where our guests enjoyed seeing the emblematic giant tortoises in the wild. We were lucky to see many individuals, males and females of different ages and sizes. Besides tortoises, our guests enjoyed finding land iguanas, different species of Darwin finches, and more land birds. In the afternoon our guests explored Tagus Cove, where some went hiking while others went on a Zodiac ride. We were able to observe Galapagos penguins, and to appreciate the beautiful sunset. It was a truly special day in the Galapagos archipelago.

Isabela and Fernandina Islands
Today we woke up in the western realm of the archipelago. We crossed the equatorial line in the company of some common dolphins, while navigating near the beautiful Isabela Island. We then arrived at Punta Vicente Roca, where we explored the coastline to see the amazing geology and spot a variety of wildlife. In the afternoon we moved to Fernandina Island, the youngest of the archipelago. We saw so many species, from Galapagos sea lions to marine iguanas, as well as some unusual species like Galapagos racer snakes that were alert and ready to find some prey. To close this spectacular day we had a beautiful sunset, while dolphins followed our Zodiacs back to our floating home, National Geographic Delfina .
