Today we spent the day exploring the western region of the Galapagos Islands. We visited Punta Vicente Roca on the north side of Isabela Island and Punta Espinoza on Fernandina Island. This was a remarkable day because we observed some of the most iconic endemic species in the Galapagos, such as the Galapagos penguins, Galapagos sea lions, marine iguanas, and flightless cormorants.

Urbina Bay and Tagus Cove, Isabela Island
Today we had a full day exploring the biggest island of the archipelago, Isabela Island. We started at Urbina Bay where, after a thrilling disembarkation, we had the opportunity to find a large number of tortoises, as well as Galapagos land iguanas as they roamed the deciduous forest. As we finished our walk, we had a refreshing swim in the bay and later navigated to Tagus Cove where we had an amazing snorkeling excursion and a leisurely kayaking exploration. We finished the day accompanied by a beautiful sunset as we explored the coastline with a scenic view of Tagus Cove and its wonders.
