Our landing this morning is at Punta Cormorant, mostly known for its inland lagoons and resident flamingo population. We are lucky to see them close up. I remember on my past trip, the flamingos staying far away on the other side of the lagoon, nearly imperceptible from so far away. Today, they are less than 20 feet away which makes for excellent photography.
Later in the morning, we snorkel at Champion Islet, just off the coast of Floreana. Here, we swim with sea lions again and a host of different tropical fish. The waters are choppy and many in our group retreat to the relative calm of the pangas.
In the afternoon, some of our group head out on a kayaking excursion, while others go on a panga ride. In the pangas we see golden rays in a beautiful formation underwater. We learn a little about the settlement history of Floreana, documented in The Galapagos Affair. Afterwards, we have a shore excursion at Post Office Bay. I'm disappointed there aren't any postcards for me to deliver in Montana, but our group is able to rescue many from the barrel.
The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
