Today, National Geographic Endeavour II is anchored inside of a caldera at Genovesa Island. We started the day with a nice walk on Prince Philips Steps and Darwin’s Bay. Sea birds like Nazca boobies, frigate birds and red footed boobies were everywhere, posing for us at the best angles. The conditions inside the caldera today were perfect for exploring the underwater world by snorkeling with marine animals like the Galapagos sea lion and the Galapagos fur seal. Paddle boarding and kayaking were on the schedule today, so we could get some exercise while we enjoy marine sea turtles swimming next to us. It was an exceptional last day of the expedition aboard National Geographic Endeavour II. We will remember this paradise forever.
