We spent the day exploring the island of Santa Cruz. In the morning, we visited the highlands where we found giant tortoises. We also visited a farm to see how local farmers live their lives on the islands and how they contribute to the local production of food. We ended the day onboard National Geographic Islander II enjoying live music and dance performed by local artists. Guests danced to Ecuadorian rhythms and enjoyed the artists playing unique, traditional instruments from the Andean region.
