Galapagos Cruise day #5 - Isla Santiago, black and red beaches and of course more snorkelling

This morning we headed to the beach in the Zodiac and walked a bit on the island Santiago. We were looking for seals - not the sea lions. At the end of the foot path there were a small canal in the rocks and a few seals relaxing there. One of them decided to jump into the water and play around giving us excellent entertainment as it slowly swam back and forth.

Done with looking at the seals we headed for the beach, got our snorkelling equipment ready and jumped in the water spending the next hour swimming back and forth along the coast - and, yes, you can never get too much snorkelling on the Galapagos. This morning the sun was out and the collection of fish, turtles, sea lions, small sharks and much more were impressive. We headed back to the boat for lunch and sailed a bit further down the island to another beach - this time red due to the composition of the lava rock. A short walk on the island and then more snorkelling from the beach with the opportunity to swim a bit and look at garden eels, a few schools of fish and some very playful sea lions. Being our last snorkelling on this trip it felt a bit weird to get out of the water and then not. We have seen so much great marine life and underwater action that we almost could cross everything off Malene's bucket list. Except for maybe manta ray's and the octopus.

We had one last dinner and then headed towards the starting point of the trip. Except for a small "circumnavigation" around Daphne Island tomorrow morning the trip is officially over.
