Bartolome & Santiago Islands
It’s our last day on the Galápagos Islands. Early in the morning we woke up to ascend to the top of Bartolome Island. We had to climb up 372 steps and were rewarded with incredible scenery! It was worth all our hard work. We could see other islands in the distance, and we stared at the beautiful contrasting colors of the different volcanic formations and the scarce vegetation that has managed to arrive at this young island.
After the visit we went back on board to have breakfast and get ready to continue our day with water activities at Bartolome. It was a sunny day, perfect for swimming from the beach, snorkeling and enjoying the Glass Bottom Boat. Almost all of us got the chance to see a few penguins, white tip reef sharks, and lots of colorful fish. We felt very lucky when they approached us and swam right next to us.
On our way to Santiago Island, the Enchanted Islands gave us their farewell gift; we were delighted by the presence of a group of sperm whales swimming right by the National Geographic Endeavour. It was a kind way to say goodbye to our guests.
In the afternoon we visited Santiago Island; we went for a peaceful walk along the coastline where we found marine iguanas, sally light foot crabs, herons and Galápagos fur sea lions. It was a great day on this piece on heaven on earth.
