We spent the last day of our wonderful expedition on the island of San Cristobal. In the morning, we visited Punta Pitt, the easternmost point of the Galapagos archipelago. Here we found blue-footed boobies along the trail, and we were so happy to finally see the red-footed boobies! In the afternoon, our guests relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful white sand beach of Cerro Brujo as our great week came to an end.

Floreana Island
On board National Geographic Gemini , we started our day just after sunrise kayaking along Loberia Bay. It was a very special outing as we had sea lions join us close to our kayaks. There also were baby blacktip reef sharks, spotted eagle rays, and sea turtles. In the afternoon, we snorkeled with sea lions and then we visited Cormorant Point. We encountered more sea lions on the beach, blue-footed boobies along the coast, and flamingos in a lagoon behind the beach. To close Earth Day, we all watched the premiere of the documentary, Sea Lions of The Galapagos, by Disney. Certified Photo Instructor Ivan worked as a field assistant and photographer on the project, which made it a very special and personal event for our guests, especially after experiencing sea lions up close and hearing Ivan’s stories about the shooting of the film.
