      After a short water tour of the shore line, we landed at Darwin's Bay for a short walk. The sea lions, the red-footed boobies (many with chicks), the Galapagos doves, frigate birds and iguanas were everywhere. Afterward, we snorkeled in the bay - conditions weren't ideal, but the fish were amazing anyway.

      Crystal clear water. A little cold. I stayed on a boat. Went with a travel agency. Best way. Again, once in a life time.

      Like many others, this was our first stop after boarding our boat in Baltra/Itabasca Channel. It was a very rough boat ride overnight as the distance is quite significant.We arrived during nesting season for many of the birds; mainly the Galapagos Dove, Nazca boobies, frigates, and red footed boobies. They were everywhere. We had to walk off the path sometimes because some birds decided to just relax in the middle of the path. Our naturalist commented that he had never seen so many male frigates in one place, we even saw several males puffed out trying to intimidate the other males. This was the most bird life we had seen in one place during the entire week.After the morning hike, we returned to the beach to snorkel around the rocks. Not the best visibility but it was a good introduction back into the water for those of us who don't snorkel often.

      Our afternoon walk on the beach with our naturalists got us so close to red footed boobies, frigate birds, Nazca boobies, other birds, and sea lions you could have touched them. We saw a swallow tailed gull on the rocks across from the water from the mangroves with a chick so well camouflaged it had to move before you could spot it. Getting so close to the animals gave us great opportunities for photography.

      After leaving Baltra, this was my boat's first stop. The first of the animals, scenery, cliffs, and yes, even graffiti. I loved every minute there. It gave me a great preview of my next weeks to come, which were even more eventful.

      It's a gorgeous site, and the only place to see the Galapagos owl. And of course, sea lions, red-footed boobies, nazca boobies, marine iguanas, finches, frigate birds, etc. It was just fantastic!

      Also known as Tower Island, this half moon bay is really not worth the visit. I believe most people end up visiting the compulsory location as part of a cruise to see mainly red footed boobies, nasca boobies and marine iguanas. These birds and iguanas are on other islands so other then seeing the half moon bay which is mainly cliffs covered white in bird poop, there is nothing else unique about this island. Which btw is far to the north and depending on the time of year the water can be rough. We did a short trail hike and snorkeled the current along the cliff, which again, very similar to what we did on other island, but I wish our itinerary had gone to a different location and skipped this island. The pictures attached sum up the island. I do not think a lot of people get a choice of going or excluding the island, but if it is not on your itinerary I would not be too alarmed as I believe you are not missing much.

      This is a great place to visit and well worth the trip. It is an amazing place to see and is a one off place to visit. Make sure you see this as it is beautiful.

      This was our full day in the Galapagos and what better way to be introduced to these islands by landing ('wet' beach landing) on this remote island on the northeast corner of this archipelago (we spent the previous day fying in from Quito to Baltra and visited Mosquera Islet - which is a small sandy island just north of Baltra Island (airport)).We were able to walk up to bird nests (red-footed and Nazca boobies, great frigate birds) and saw other numeorus birds (finches, herons, mocking birds, etc.) and walked to Darwin Bay where we even spotted sharks patrolling the shoals!After hiking back to the beach, we pur on our snorkel equipment (masks, fins, snorkels) and snorkelled around to check out the local fauna - again the local shark was there in addition to the numerous and colourful reef fishes common in the area.Overall a great introduction to the Galapagos Islands.
