The morning started with frigates nesting on the green bushes of North Seymour Island, with their impressive red gular sacs they inflate for mating easily visible. Blue-footed boobies were also seen on the lava rocks along the shore, and many land iguanas were feeding on flowers and salt bushes.
This year has seen a lot of rain, and now there is plenty of food for terrestrial creatures. As soon as we arrived at Rabida Island, our younger explorers had fun jumping from the stern of our ship to cool off and play on our inflatable platform.
In the afternoon, we went kayaking and snorkeling from the beautiful and unique red beach. We spotted rays, sharks, sea lions, and many schools of different fish. We ended our day strolling along the beach and the brackish lagoon where flamingoes were preening their iridescent pink feathers. What a day we had, full of enjoyment, adventure, and funny moments.
