Our last day was incredible! We opened our expedition with pods of dolphins, and we ended this week with another incredible dolphin show. Early this morning we kayaked along the coast of Rábida Island, and later we walked on the magical red beach, near a brackish water lagoon with flamingos and pintails. The snorkeling was phenomenal — we observed rays and sharks, as well as many varieties of sea stars and sea urchins. In the afternoon we took a Zodiac ride in search of Galápagos penguins, and we found them basking under the sun close to the caves where they overnight. Our snorkelers also enjoyed being in the Galápagos waters for one last time, after a week full of surprises like swimming with sea lions, dolphins, sharks, and multicolored fish. Next we are heading to our final location, Baltra Island, where the main airport is. Our Captain will offer a cocktail, and the entire crew will cheer with us for having had a great expedition on board National Geographic Delfina. Another successful week with great memories and new friends.

Espanola Island
Pre-breakfast outings are the way to go if you want to squeeze every daylight minute out of these twelve-hour equatorial days. Kayakers departed to paddle along the low bluffs of Gardner Bay, and beach walkers and photographers spent time with sea lions, mockingbirds, and finches on this renowned white beach. We saw all three endemic finch species. After breakfast, we snorkeled with young sea lions and Pacific green sea turtles. The afternoon had us walking over, around, and between boulders with marine life nesting, resting, or courting along the way. Espanola is famous for its high percentage of endemic species – inside an archipelago of unique species! Espanola lava lizards and marine iguanas were frequent sightings, but the seabirds drew much of our attention: swallow-tailed gulls, blue-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, and the largest of the locals, the waved albatross.

San Cristobal Island
The first full day was just that – full! From sunup to sundown, the day was filled with new experiences: red-footed boobies, blue-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, great and magnificent frigatebirds, and one of my favorite wonders: snorkeling with the Galapagos sea lions. We visited two exquisite locations on the oldest island. Punta Pitt is in the northeasternmost corner of San Cristobal, and Cerro Brujo is about halfway down the western coastline. Today’s grand finale was approaching Leon Dormido at sunset with a frigate cruising overhead, catching his ride on our updraft until he got off at his home station.
