A glorious day began before dawn with Zodiac cruises of the magnificent Los Islotes, location of a California sea lion haul out in the northernmost part of Ispirito Santos National Park. After breakfast, many of us reveled in the playful joy generated by the younger sea lions that came out to swim with us. Afterwards, we set sail for Isla San Jose and stumbled across a mother and calf humpback pair within San Jose Channel as we made our way to the northern end of the island.
Our afternoon was spent exploring an (as of yet) unnamed beach complete with a saltwater lagoon. Many guests spent time strolling and beachcombing, while others swam in the turquoise waters. A group of bottlenose dolphins came into the area as we departed for our home on National Geographic Venture.
