The equatorial tropical sun is on the horizon and shines this beautiful morning in Gardner Bay. We are anchored in the turquoise waters surrounded by white sandy beaches where sea lions are basking and the iguanas feed on green algae.
We went out to snorkel and swim with the colorful Galapagos marine life. We also walked along the shoreline looking for seabirds, land birds and marine turtles. After having a great morning, our captain motored to the west side of the island to visit Punta Suarez. It is a spot full of wildlife where we walked inland to admire the spectacular scenery and a wide variety of fauna. We found colorful marine iguanas, colonies of sea lions, Nazca boobies, and the famous blue-footed booby just a few feet from us. This was our first full day on our journey exploring this astonishing archipelago called Galapagos.
