After we sailed through the night to San Cristobal Island, we anchored in the Bay of Punta Pitt, the most northeastern point of the Galapagos National Park.
The morning outings were full of activities and adventures: first a glorious hike through this mini canyon of tuff cone, amazing scenery surrounded by red- and blue-footed boobies’ nests. These amazing creatures were in the trees and on the trail without even minding the presence of all the new visitors of their island. Walking around the cliff, a patch of the landscape turned into red, this is due to the Galapagos carpetweed. During the garua season it changes in color from green to red. Together with the Galapagos clubleaf, these two endemic plants give this area a contrast of color with the black lava rock that makes it look fantastic. This gave our guests the opportunity to take good souvenir photos.
After we went back to the golden beach where the different morning activities of the day took place, some guests went paddleboarding, others to the glass-bottom boat. The Global Explorer kids had Zodiac driving lessons while others enjoyed swimming and snorkeling with sea lions on the beach.
At midday we had a delicious lunch with all fresh ingredients from local farms, lots of different vegetables, free-range chicken, passion fruit mousse, and the most incredible chocolate lava cookies.
During the afternoon outing it was time to visit Cerro Brujo Beach, which is the last stop of our incredible expedition, and the best way to say goodbye to the Galapagos Islands was with the Galapagos sea lions.
Sailing around Kicker Rock Islet during sunset, we had to thank mother nature for the fantastic trip we had, and the memories and friendships that we made.
