Today we visited Española Island. In the morning, we had a lot of fun with various water activities, including paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and spending time on the beach. Gardner Bay has an amazing white sand beach and lots of sea lions. In the afternoon, we navigated to Suarez Point, where I oversaw Zodiac driving lessons for our very curious Global Explorers. Dolphins joined in the fun, swimming alongside the Zodiac while the kids were at the wheel. Later, we disembarked at Suarez Point and went for an amazing walk to explore the area. We observed a very large nesting colony of Nazca boobies, colonies of sea lions, and so much more. It was a delightful day.
