Galapagos Islands, part 1

Fantastic!!

sunny 25 °C

We have come half way through our cruise and have visited the islands of North Seymour, Santa Fe, Española, Floreana and Santa Cruz. Here we have seen lots of fantastic wildlife such as blue footed boobies, frigate birds, Galapagos hawks, flamingos, marine iguanas, land iguanas, sea lions, albatrosses, Galapagos penguins, giant tortoise on land and green sea turtles, sea lions, sharks, rays and lots of other fish below water while we were diving and snorkeling. We also had an encounter with hundreds of dolphins while cruising between the islands yesterday.

To be here and to experience this wonderful paradise of almost unspoiled wildlife is fantastic. The animals are not scared and you can get as close as half a meter to them. It’s an amazing unforgettable experience.

Today we will carry on our cruise and next week we will give you the whole report and lots of photos of course.

Take care for now!!!

Lots of love,

Sabrina and Fredrik
