    Wet Landing (meaning you jump in off the Panga but the water was never deeper than your knees). Surface was walking on lava. We saw so many animals.. Yellow crowned herons, starfish, iguana, fur seals, Galapagos Hawks, killdeer, seals, mocking birds, land iguana’s, cormorants, snakes, stingraysGeckos/Marine Iguanas, sea lions, swallow tail gulls, frigates, brown Pelican, Sally Lightfoot crabs, American oyster catchers, lava gulls, sanderlings, Flamingo’s and so many things i have no clue what they were. We took our first glass bottom board right and saw penguins (the smallest in the world), blue footed boobies, Sargent Major fish and Moorish Idol fish. We had our first opportunity to snorkel and it was amazing. Swam with a giant sea tortoise and a seal while fish swam all around me.Read more
