San Cristobal Island is always full of surprises. In the morning we visited Punta Pitt; the outstanding landscape and the creatures of this place made our guests feel a sense of wonder about these islands. In the afternoon we visited Cerro Brujo, one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Galapagos. After a relaxing walk along this beach we departed toward Kicker Rock — and along the way a large pod of bottlenose dolphins joined our boat, offering us one of the most outstanding moments of the day.

Rabida Island
Today aboard National Geographic Delfina we enjoyed the last full day of our expedition in the Galapagos Islands. Our guests had a wonderful time exploring Rabida Island, a magnificent place with a red-colored beach. The concentration of iron oxide makes this one of the most unique places in the world for geology. The day started with a wonderful kayaking session along the coast of Rabida, where our guests enjoyed spectacular views of the scenery with some sea lions passing by. After kayaking, we disembarked on the lovely beach and explored a brackish water lagoon where we observed flamingos, beautiful American oystercatchers, mockingbirds, and other migratory birds. Afterwards we enjoyed a snorkel session around the island and all the way back to the ship. A perfect way to finish our expedition in the beautiful Galapagos Islands.
