Early in the morning our National Geographic Islander II guests disembarked on the small island of Bartolome. We hiked 380 stairs to the top to appreciate the amazing view, especially that of the iconic Pinnacle Rock, a distinctive rock formation which is one of the symbols of the Galapagos Islands.
Back on board, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast and got ready for our next adventure, snorkeling along the coast of this tiny island. Today was especially wonderful as we had the chance to snorkel with the tiny and playful Galapagos penguin. Not only one, but ten of them together, swimming fast among our guests.
The afternoon was warm as we strolled along our second trail of the day on Santa Cruz Island. Cerro Dragon is a notable landmark on Santa Cruz Island, as it is the home of an impressive population of Galapagos land iguanas. We were lucky enough to find seven big iguanas resting just beside the trail, giving our guests a great opportunity for awesome pictures.
