Morning SCUBA Diving and Transfer to Floreana Island
Divemaster, Richard, introduced me to Galapagos below the waves after breakfast while the rest of our group toured the Santa Cruz highlands by bus. We saw an abundance of multicolored fish as well as a Pacific Green turtle calmly paddling somewhere he needed to be. Clearly there is lots more to explore under water and there are many dives sites. But those will have to wait for another time. After lunch our small group sailed to Floreana Island, about an hour and a half trip and settled into the Floreana Lodge which is comprised of small cabins. Each had ocean views and mine was certainly quite comfortable. The afternoon was spent snorkeling at the beach where we saw several good sized Pacific Green Turtles feeding below the surface. We had an evening wine and beverage reception and briefing shortly after sunset and were able to spot the Southern Cross from the Deck. Dinner followed at Lileana's family owned restaurant and most of our group elected to enjoy a walk back to the cabins and do some more stargazing on the way.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
