Gardner Bay
Bahia Gardner is our first stop today. The Galapagos sea lion is a popular animal that draws the attention of visitors to the Galapagos.
They are playful and curious, and sometimes aggressive. Many of them will be found at Gardner Bay enjoying the sun and relaxing on the beaches. We will snorkel in the area that they will allow us to swim with them. In addition to observing these amazing animals, we will also swim with sea turtles and marine iguanas. We will then return to the ship to sail towards the next island. Lunch.
Suarez Point
Dry landing. Activities that were done in this area: Walking; recommended clothes: Sports shoes, hats, caps, solar lotion. The blue-footed boobies are the most striking and remarkable color on this tropical island. They have a unique form of "greeting" which is quite impressive and is an amazing spectacle to witness the ritualistic parade. Because nests and feed can be found in many places near the coast, we can see this bird on several islands. This is where you can see the Albatross, which weighs between three and four kilograms and has a height of over two meters. It is a creature of aristocratic nature. There are approximately twelve thousand nests on Espanola Island, with a few nests on Silver Island. This species is considered to be endemic on this island. We will have the opportunity to see these amazing birds during our walk.
Important note: Albatross is not visible between January and March. We will also see colonies of marine iguanas and zayapas as well as mask boobies, finches and Espanola cucuves. We will walk along lava rock paths, where we can admire hollow blowers. This island's vegetation is red mangrove. You can expect delicious snacks and refreshing beverages.
