Genovesa Island
We had a wonderful time on Genovesa. It was a nice sunny, warm day. We walked trough the different colonies of sea birds. We encountered this beautiful swallow-tailed gull of the picture, and found very busy female frigates looking for a mate.
While admiring the beauty of the red sacs of the male frigate birds we had a very playful baby Galápagos sea lion that came to amuse us playing on the shore.
After a great walk we deserved a nice refreshing snorkeling outing. Our guests had a great experience floating in these turquoise-blue waters, admiring the underwater world. We found white coral, and its main predator the parrot fish, which at the same time is one of the most beautiful fishes. It has a body with all the different shades of green and blue.
We encountered lots of colorful Moorish idols and the very territorial damsel fish. They always try to protect their territories from challenging Razor surgeon fish. We also saw a Mexican hog fish trying to take a bite of the green algae from the bottom, while rainbow wrasses were performing their cleaning job to any “client” fish that approached them.
