Today was our second full day exploring the islands and we started with a fantastic prebreakfast hike. Punta Cormorant is famous for the presence of a brackish water lagoon where greater flamingos can often be observed. As we hiked a mile inland, we arrived at a beautiful coralline beach, a nesting site for green sea turtles. Some individuals were basking at the shoreline and a couple of turtles were mating not far from the breakers. What a show!
We saw boobies diving, sea lions playing, lots of fish, rays, and reef sharks while snorkeling. In the afternoon, we went kayaking among sea turtles and rays. Post Office Bay, well known for a traditional posting system used by early sailors, was the late afternoon activity, finishing off an amazing day on our expedition.
