Today was our first full day in the Galapagos. We visited Española and enjoyed a wide variety of wildlife that is unique to this archipelago. In the morning we went to Gardner Bay where we enjoyed snorkeling and exploring a white sandy beach full of sea lions. We came back on board to experience a traditional Ecuadorian lunch which was just delicious! In the afternoon we moved to Punta Suarez. Here we had the opportunity to observe the Galapagos waved albatross. We also spotted marine iguanas, Nazca boobies and swallow tailed gulls. It was a great way to start our Galapagos expedition aboard the National Geographic Islander.
