Description
We will board the Galaxy Daily and go discover the Galapagos marine fauna thanks to a snorkeling activity. With some luck, we will see white-tip sharks and a great variety of fish, sea turtles, and rays. After this journey, we will return to the Itabaca Channel, where a bus will be waiting for us to take us to Puerto Ayora’s pier, where today's adventure ends.
After a delicious lunch on board the Galaxy Daily, we will navigate to Plazas, as many call it. Upon our arrival, we will have a dry landing while sea lions will welcome us at the shore. We will begin our walk along a path through an Opuntia Cactus forest. Continuing our tour, we will reach the fantastic, windy cliff where red-billed tropical birds, swallow-tailed gulls, brown pelicans, and the impressive frigate bird usually fly around. The trail meanders along the edge of the ridge for a few hundred meters.
