Today, the adventure began on the golden shores of Gardner Bay, Española Island. Here, our guests enjoyed their first snorkeling session in the crystal-clear waters, swimming alongside curious and playful Galápagos sea lions – a truly magical introduction to the archipelago’s marine life.
In the afternoon, we headed to Punta Suárez, one of the most iconic visitor sites in the Galápagos. Along the trail, we encountered sunbathing marine iguanas with their distinctive red and green hues, and the elusive Galápagos dove walking calmly across the rocky path. The highlight of the visit was witnessing the majestic waved albatross – a species found only on Española between April and December. Guests marveled as these graceful seabirds displayed their elaborate courtship rituals, gliding effortlessly over the cliffs.
A perfect blend of marine and land wildlife made this day an unforgettable start to our Galápagos journey.
