Friday
l Galapagos - Isla Isabela
In the morning, we'll take a short walk to the dock, leaving in a little boat to some small islets within Isabela bay known as Tintoreras.
With a bit of luck, we'll observe White-Tipped Reef Sharks resting in small channels next to the lagoon and Sea Lions sleeping under the mangroves. Sea Iguanas of all sizes can be found during the mating season showing off their beautiful red and green skin. While we might also see Blue-Footed Boobies or Galapagos Penguins on our way through the bay.
In the afternoon, we'll be able to discover the marine world of the islands. While snorkelling near the shore we'll enjoy the company of schools of differently coloured fish alongside Parrot Fishes, Rays and majestic Sea Turtles.
In the evening, we'll enjoy our last meal together with a few drinks as a busy day of travelling awaits us the following day.

Sharks and Sea Lions
21/11/2008
After a really bad night because of the noise made for the political campaigns, our friend Gerard didn't take part in our activities today because he didn't sleep at all.
We having a rich breakfast, we left in a small boat to discover the shorelines of Isabela Island. We were lucky to see a colony of Blue Footed Boobies, a Penguin Colony, Sea Lions and the White Tipped Reef Sharks.
Afterwards we started to discover the incredibly rich marine world of Galapagos. In a really nice place we dove in for snorkelling. A magnificent experience: the Sea Lions did enjoy swimming with us, without showing any fear. The sun was really strong, so all of us got sun burned again.
This night, our guide Wilmer did prepare us a barbecue and a drink to friendship sponsored by William.
