Chinese Hat is a tiny little islet off the coast of Santiago Island. The narrow channel between them and its crystal-clear waters offer a great opportunity for snorkeling and kayaking. This site is very special because it is one of the few places in Galapagos where the northernmost penguin in the world can be observed. Along the coastline you can also find sea lions, herons, pelicans and more.

In the afternoon we opted for a hike or a Zodiac ride to explore Sullivan Bay, famous for its young pahoehoe lava field and its other volcanic features. In the area you can also find Galapagos penguins and blue-footed boobies.
