Today we spent the day on Santiago Island, following Darwin steps. We started with an early hike at Espumilla beach, going inland to see what Darwin saw during his time here. There was an optional photo walk along the beach, to learn about nature photography. The National Geographic Endeavour II was repositioned towards Buccaneer’s Cove. Here one of the highlights is snorkeling, and this morning was spectacular. We saw colorful fish, white-tipped reef sharks, Galapagos fur seals and a huge and playful manta ray! Kayaking and glass-bottom boat rides were an added plus. In the afternoon, our guests enjoyed a great walk along the coastal area of Puerto Egas. The weather was perfect and we had the opportunity to explore the intertidal zone, as it was low tide. Among Galapagos sea lions, herons, marine iguanas, coastal birds and sally lightfoot crabs, the landscape of this place is just a dream! It was another day in paradise.
