As soon as the sun rose above the thin mist, the impressive landscape of Bartolome Island appeared before our eyes, as our early risers prepared for a power hike to the summit of the island. The best time of the day to visit Bartolome is early in the morning for the best temperature and light available.

In the afternoon National Geographic Endeavour II repositioned around the corner near Sombrero Chino Island. This is a great snorkel site, and one of the very few nesting sites for the Galapagos penguin in the archipelago.
