This morning we arrived to the north western part of Santa Cruz Island; after breakfast we headed ashore to Dragon Hill where we went looking for Galapagos land iguanas, we found some colorful males as well as females. The iguanas we saw today looked interested on each other and by their aggressive display these were ready to mate. Males usually bob their heads and walk slowly with trying to look bigger and showing off their bright yellow color skin. As we explored this place we found Galapagos marine iguanas along the coast sunbathing and others were heading to the water to feed.
After this walk everybody returned aboard, and later on went to a nearby beach and to snorkel along the coast of Guy Fawkes Islet, this morning we found different types of fish and some of our guests swam with a large manta ray that was busy feeding off the coast of this islet.
During the afternoon we went to a different area and had different options. With our young explorers we had a great time learning to drive the Zodiacs, some of our guests went on a coastal exploration by Zodiac while others took the option of kayaking around the same area. After all this activities we got back on board and navigated around Daphne Major Islet, there we learned about the famous studies on Darwin finches done by Peter and Rosemary Grant. At the end of the afternoon we all enjoyed a colorful sunset to finish a great day in Galapagos.
