It was a fantastic morning to spend on Bartolomé Island. We visited this small island that has an amazing landscape. We went for an exploratory walk along the trail that led us to the top. It was fascinating to encounter small volcanos dotting the landscape. As we walked we also climbed the slopes of this island all the way to the outlook. There we had the most amazing views of the volcanic landscape.
Bartolomé is a cool place to spend time snorkeling, so after breakfast we headed to the snorkeling site. It is pretty shallow and this area is full of tropical fish of different types and sizes. This was our first snorkeling outing of our journey and it was a great experience!
In the afternoon, after a three hour sailing, we landed on Rábida Island. Here we visited the unique, red sand beach. Once at our destination we grabbed our snorkeling gear and boarded the fleet of Zodiacs to explore another snorkeling and kayaking site. This was an incredible experience due to the presence of birds, sea lions, sea turtles, and the incredible abundance of fish of different types and colors!
At the end of the day we landed on the iconic red beach for an exploration walk. On this beach we also found a colony of Galapagos sea lions and a good place to find shore birds. The landscape was amazing, the red beach glows under the sun, and we all enjoyed an incredible sunset!
