Early morning, we start a hike where we spotted more than 40 flamingos in a salt water lagoon, sting rays at the sandy bottom, and red crabs in the black lava rocks. After breakfast, we went to ¨Champion¨, for zodiac ride, deep-water snorkel and glass bottom boat. Champion is a magical place full of life. We spot blue footed boobies, Galapagos gulls, pelicans, frigate birds and many sea lions playing along the shore. In the afternoon, we visit the Post Office Bay a historical site that used to be visited by whaling ships back in the early 1800s. Our global explorer went directly to swim and snorkel at the beach, followed by kayak and paddleboard along the shore. We spot more sea lions playing, and Pacific green sea turtles resting underwater and lava herons hunting. Another beautiful day enjoying paradise onboard National Geographic Endeavor II.
