The last full day of our expedition brought us to San Cristobal Island, one of the oldest in the archipelago. Located in the center of the Galapagos archipelago, Santa Fe holds unique wildlife. We started the day with an invigorating hike and exploration of the coast. Red-footed boobies were a highlight for all. Upon returning to the beach area, young and playful Galapagos sea lions frolicked with everyone who entered the water.
The afternoon revealed a rugged coastline and one of the most incredible, fine coralline sand beaches in the Galapagos. Shorebirds looked for sustenance in the shallows as sea lions finished their day lazing on the beach. Our final day finished as we passed by Kicker Rock and a setting sun.
