We continue our exploration of the western side of the Galapagos; today we visit the navel of the seahorse-shaped island. Urbina Bay is part of an uplifted area of the shoreline, after an event occurred in 1954. A power hike is offered to take our guests to giant coral heads (also uplifted in 1954) and the nesting site of land iguanas. In the afternoon we visit the beach of the seahorse-shaped island and we offer several activities. Paddle boarding was a blast and so was kayaking; our guests also enjoyed snorkeling near the walls of Tagus Cove. And we also offered a hike up to Darwin Lake for sightseeing and exercise.
