We started our day at San Cristobal Island with a pre-breakfast hike to the top of an ancient cinder cone where we found a colony of red-footed boobies. After breakfast we went ashore to snorkel and swim, enjoying the warm temperature of the water.
After lunch, we were navigating towards Cerro Brujo when we spotted a pod of orcas. Our captain turned the ship around to have a better look of the pod but instead we found a large pod of bottlenose dolphins and a pod of false killer whales. Among the species of whales we find in Galapagos, these are not that common, so we felt lucky when one came close to bow ride with us. We walked along the coast of Cerro Brujo and ended our day circumnavigating Leon Dormido Islet. It was an amazing day!
