We started the day with a hike at a beautiful oasis of green poison apple trees, which happens to be the home of the Galapagos land iguanas. During the outing we also found many of the Alcedo volcano species of giant tortoise — it was quite an amazing experience to be surrounded by these giants among the wilderness!
After lunch we navigated to Tagus Cove for kayaking and snorkeling along the coast; we enjoyed sightings of Galapagos penguins, flightless cormorants, and Galapagos sea lions resting near the shore. We finished our day hiking a trail around Darwin Crater Lake. Another perfect day in this natural paradise!
