Sombrero Chino gave up the goods for us. For our first excursion, we went kayaking and immediately saw Galapagos penguins. We even sawn an albino penguin, which is extremely rare. We also kayaked with sea lions. After kayaking, we went for a zodiac ride, where we were able to get better photographs of the penguins. Then, we returned to Sombrero Chino to experience it from underwater. Here, we were able to swim with tons of penguins, manta rays, eagle rays, and sea lions. We were giddy with the excitement of snorekling with so many rare species when we returned to the Theory for cocktails and lunch.
In the afternoon, we navigate to Bartolome Island. We have a snorkeling excursion, swimming along the coastline where we again swim with penguins, sea lions, sharks and plentiful fish species. We end our snorkel on a beach of pure golden sand, towered over by Pinnacle Rock. We return to the Theory for cocktails and snacks (a familiar pattern of life onboard) and then head out again to climb to the top of Bartolome Island, where we are afforded spectacular views.
I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
