Visiting Galapagos you are always escorted by licensed guide – he says what is allowed or not – that´s why the animals are not shy if you are close to them. On the Bachas Beach we ware walking just 1 m from the laying sea lions, iguanas… There were also flamingoes in the little lagoon. Sea turtles and mantas were sailing close to our boat… Just fantastic!
Today in the morning we were sailing to the South Plaza Island. Dry landing on the little stone jetty where six or seven sea lions lie… Long walk in the dry landscape whe thousands of sea iguanas live… Many photo opportunities…
In the afternoon we were sailing to Santa Fe Island and snorkeling from the boat. For the first time in my life I was swimming with sea lions. They were very courious seeing me in the water and I really din not know what to do when they come close just looking eye to eye into my mask… No, they are not dangerous… It is one of this experiences of your life. Unforgettable! Of course there were plenty of color fish but there are also other places to see them…
