We explored Bartholomew, on the west coast of Santiago Island and made our way to the highest point on the islet to take in the scenery during the early morning hours. Conditions for snorkeling where outstanding, and our guests took full advantage of this opportunity right after breakfast. For lunch we had an Ecuadorian feast, and as we dined our ship navigated to Rabida Island. Here, we had our second snorkeling session of the day and our first opportunity to kayak. We closed the day walking on Rabida’s red sand beach among resting Galapagos sea lions.
