Our day began with a wildlife-packed morning on South Plazas Island, where we watched with fascination as seabirds used the updraft to soar back and forth along the cliffs. Afterwards, we kayaked along the neighboring island of North Plazas. Sea lions clambered up the boulder-strewn shoreline, and lava herons hunted crabs.
We navigated to Santa Fe Island in the afternoon and enjoyed a snorkeling excursion. Curious sea lions played with each other, and multiple Pacific green sea turtles swam by serenely. Much to our amazement, a school of eleven spotted eagle rays glided by in formation! We went ashore in the late afternoon to explore Santa Fe’s unique landscape and giant opuntia cactus forest. What a wonderful end to our day!
