Day 16- Snorkeling, birds


The first full day of the Galapagos was sure jam-packed and busy! We started off by instantly boating out to a rock called kicker rock where the true snorkeling began. On the way, we captured the many sights of what it means to be in the Galapagos. We took many pictures of the one and only, blue-footed booby. We saw special endemic birds, which means they are only found in the Galapagos. Finally we arrived to the snorkeling sight and were ready to snorkel. We were soon let in to the wonders of the sea world. We saw many sea turtles casually swimming around, many exotic fish, a couple sharks, starfish, and sea lions! Later that day, we continued our snorkeling after a nice lunch break with a stop to the spot where the birds dived and fed on the many fish. We got to see many pelicans and boobies and others dive down in the water, which was great for underwater pictures. We wrapped up the day with a nice little town walk later in that afternoon, shopping on the many local good Galapagos has to offer!
