Today we visited Floreana Island, known as the island of the thousand volcanoes. Early in the morning we visited Punta Cormorant where we got to see American flamingos and a juvenile flamingo approached us. This kind of unusual, uninhibited behavior by the animals is the reason why our guests come to the Galapagos Archipelago. It’s truly special.
There was time for outings on board our glass bottom boat at Champion Islet and we went snorkeling in clear waters with huge schools of fish and playful Galapagos sea lions.
Our great day ended at the historical site, Post Office Bay, with a visit to the barrel to drop and collect post cards, following the old sailor’s tradition. Then we had a kayaking opportunity and were surrounded by many Pacific green sea turtles. It was a wonderful expedition day!
