Today our guests explored Santa Cruz Island. After a delicious breakfast we landed at Puerto Ayora, which is the home port of most of the tour operations in the Galapagos. This town is also where the headquarters of the Galapagos National Park and the Charles Darwin Research Station are located. Today our guests learned about the iconic giant tortoise restoration project and hiked into giant tortoise territory.
