We woke up navigating on the northern part of Isabela Island and right after sunrise we went to the bow of the Islander to look for marine mammals. After some time, a large pod of Common dolphins were the reward for our effort. We had a little ceremony at the crossing of the equatorial line and after breakfast we visited Punta Vicente Roca where we had a Zodiac ride and snorkeled. In the afternoon we visited the youngest and most pristine island, Fernandina, where we walked on the lava fields and saw plenty of marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, marine turtles and sea lions. At sunset we had wine tasting on board as another perfect day came to an end.
