Nov 26, 2019 - National Geographic Islander
Today we visited the western portion of Galapagos Islands. We began our activities in Punta Vicente Roca, a great place for snorkeling amongst sea lions, marine iguanas and Galapagos penguins! Being able to see all this wildlife in the same spot was wonderful! After, National Geographic Islander headed to Punta Espinoza. On our afternoon walk, marine iguanas were the highlight - they were everywhere, so much so that we had to be careful not step on them!
Wine tasting was offered on the sky deck during sunset. What a perfect way to end our day.
Ixora was born in the Galapagos Islands, back when the streets were made of sand and gravel. Void of TV and tablets, her childhood friends and pristine natural surroundings made for an inspiring upbringing. She was always drawn to the ocean and her local environment, with her first adventures taking place underwater, in mangrove estuaries, and perched in treetops. Not surprisingly, she was scuba diving before the age of 12 and led her first diving trips as a Dive Master in the Galapagos Marine Reserve when she was 18.
