We spent the day at Floreana Island where we enjoyed an early hike at Punta Cormorant, then the National Geographic Islander was repositioned toward Champion Islet. At this Islet we went on board our Zodiacs for a great ride and we got to see many sea birds and other wildlife. From a nesting red billed tropic bird to swallow tailed gulls, Galapagos shear waters to Galapagos sea lions. This place was great for snorkeling too! In the afternoon we were at Post Office Bay and a short walk lead us to the famous barrel where postcards were left and others taken for delivery. We also stopped by a great beach for easy snorkeling. In addition to all of this, it’s a great place for kayaking and paddle-boarding. There were Pacific green sea turtles and Galapagos sea lions all around us! It was a perfect day, with mild weather conditions.
