We had a blast at Isabela Island today. In the morning, we visited Urbina Bay. We enjoyed a great walk and observed Alcedo giant tortoises and Galapagos land iguanas. This site’s green vegetation is a contrast to the dry vegetation found on the rest of the lowlands. In the afternoon, we went to Tagus Cove. Conditions were perfect for kayaking and deep-water snorkeling. Our day ended with an invigorating hike to the summit of the tuff cone to take in the landscape. We also enjoyed Zodiac tours to explore the coastal area.

Santa Cruz Island
Our adventure on Santa Cruz Island began early in the morning with a visit to the Giant Tortoise Breeding Center. We observed the different stages of the program, where the main attraction was the hatchling corrals. After our morning walk, we headed to the highlands to visit the ecological Trapiche Farm where me met Mr. Cabrera, heard his stories, met his family, and learned about all the sugarcane products that he harvests from the farm. Next, we went to the Manzanillo Tortoise Ranch, and after a delicious lunch we started our nature walk looking for the giants. We learned about their ecological roles, their migration routes, and why these creatures are so important for the islands. At night, we enjoyed a great performance by the Ecoarte group, local musicians and dancers that revealed more about the culture of the islands. It was a truly unforgettable day and we left Santa Cruz Island with a deeper appreciation for this remarkable ecosystem.

Tagus Cove and Fernandina Island
During a calm and nocturnal navigation, we made it to the western region of the archipelago. Here, colder temperatures enrich the waters, providing better quality and quantity of food for the species in the area. This is reflected in the size and numbers of the marine iguanas and the amazing amount of sea turtles we saw during snorkeling today at Fernandina. We are so excited to keep exploring this amazing destination aboard National Geographic Gemini. Photos by Walter Perez and Ixora Berdonces
