This day was completely devoted to Floreana Island, where we had the great opportunity to experience a wide variety of activities. Early in the morning we landed on Punta Cormorant, and soon we spotted flamingos and blue footed boobies. This walk ended up on an astonishing white sand beach which sea turtles use for nesting. Later in the morning we visited Champion Islet. Here, we combined Zodiac rides and snorkeling. The diversity of sea birds and marine species was just astonishing. After a well-deserved lunch we moved to Post Office Bay, a famous historical place. The fact that this bay is well protected allowed us to enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking. As I am writing this report, we all are ready to enjoy an inspiring sunset while having some cool drinks on the upper deck where the view is just magnificent A perfect way to end an amazing day.
