We are in the last full day of expedition aboard National Geographic Islander II. We have moved out of the western region to the central part of these enchanted islands. Today we visited two different places on Santiago Island. The day started with a stunning pre-breakfast kayak. After breakfast, guests enjoyed snorkeling and glass-bottom Zodiac trips in Buccaneer Cove. Later in the day, the ship moved location to Puerto Egas, where we took a long walk along the shore. We found grottos used as a resting place by fur sea lions. Guests enjoyed the beach and took a stretching class. We finished our great day with an amazing sunset.

Chinese Hat and Sullivan Bay
With a very relaxing hike at North Seymour Island, our day began. We enjoyed a nice, breezy shore walk among a massive colony of blue-footed boobies and amazing views. Later on Rabida Island, we had a great snorkel excursion with a bunch of marine birds, in addition to a colony of sea lions. We enjoyed the uncommon landscape of the red island of Rabida, with its pronounced cliffs and a bunch of diving boobies.

Santa Cruz Island
Santa Cruz Island is the most inhabited island in the Galapagos and the economic capital of the Galapagos Archipelago. Puerto Ayora, the main town, is friendly and safe and the island itself has lots to offer visitors. Today we visited a few of these places. Early in the morning we went to El Trapiche Ecologico, a farm where they produce their goods in the most artisanal way possible. Their coffee, chocolate, and moonshine are amazingly good, using techniques from the olden days. We also explored Los Gemelos, two sinkholes surrounded by a forest formed by endemic trees, and then we rode to Manzanillo Farm where we were greeted with a delicious lunch and giant tortoises In the afternoon we went to see the rearing center for giant tortoises back in Puerto Ayora and then returned to National Geographic Islander II for dinner and a show.
