Our visit to Floreana Island began early, with a pre-breakfast kayaking adventure along the calm waters of Post Office Bay. We encountered dozens of sea turtles swimming gracefully near our kayaks, providing an incredible start to our day. Later we embarked on a Zodiac ride along Champion Islet. Here, we were fortunate enough to spot the elusive Floreana mockingbird that is found on the neighboring islets. We enjoyed an incredible snorkeling session around Champion Islet and saw several whitetip reef sharks, eagle rays, sea turtles, and, to the delight of our guests, playful Galapagos sea lions!
In the afternoon, we visited Punta Cormorant. During our walk we observed American flamingos, including several juveniles whose pale white feathers contrasted beautifully with the bright pink plumage of the adults. At the white sandy beach, we spotted sea turtles and a few sharks swimming close to the shore. We went back on board with lasting memories of this wonderful day in the Galapagos.
