Today we continued our expedition by exploring northern Santa Cruz Island. Santa Cruz is the second largest island in the archipelago and the north has one of the largest mangrove forests, which means it’s home to many species. We started our day with a wonderful hike at Dragon Hill where we spotted the magnificent land iguana. In the afternoon we had many excursions from which to choose, including kayaking, paddle boarding, or Zodiac riding. Our guests were thrilled to see baby sharks (black tips and a hammerhead) and lots of sea turtles and sea birds. We had a stunning day filled with beautiful colors and lots of wildlife.
