Here we see fur seals and sea lions and have the opportunity to snorkel among schools of tropical fish. The ship then makes her way to Rabida Island where we visit a salt water lagoon rich in wildlife and vegetation. A large sea lion colony provides great photo opportunities. Our historian will share interesting anecdotes that will make this site come alive in our minds. Following the tradition, we can also place our own mail in the barrel.
Opportunities exist for snorkeling.
In the afternoon, we make our way to the Darwin Station on Santa Cruz Island. Here we can see the giant tortoises and learn about research and conservation efforts. Before returning to the ship, we have a chance to pick up souvenirs from the local shops. Back on board, we enjoy a farewell dinner in a traditional Ecuadorian style. We arrive at the Hilton Colon Hotel in the afternoon.
