After a night sailing to Genovesa Island, anchor was dropped and soon we started our activities with early kayaking along the collapsed caldera cliffs observing sea birds start their day, too. Swallow tailed gulls, Red billed tropic birds and Shearwaters joined us as we paddled. As we snorkeled, different varieties of fish and sea creatures showed their glowing colors. Later at Darwin Bay and Prince Phillip’s Steps we had to be aware not to step on Nazca booby nests. Red footed boobies hung on the mangroves while we took as many pictures as we could.
