The whole day on Santa Cruz Island was full of wonders. We not only got to see the incredible wildlife, but we visited a lovely family-owned farmed to learn about the people of the Galapagos Islands and the ways of living in this incredible paradise. One of the highlights of the day for all was walking amongst the giant tortoises of the Galapagos Islands. There were more than a hundred of them; We definitely had a blast.

Once back on board National Geographic Islander II, we met the local artisans who provided the Global Gallery with their wonderful handicrafts and got to listen and dance to the rhythms of the Galapagos.
