Galapagos Islands - April, 2024
Day 7 – Isabela and Fernandina Islands
Thursday, April 11

After specialty coffee and breakfast, we arrived at the Discovery Lounge promptly at 8:15 so we could check in on the earliest possible tender for Option 2 this morning, which was the short walk. We needed to be back in time so wifey could make the advanced snorkel at 10:30.

We made it back to the ship in time for the 10:30 snorkeling and when she got back, we had a Spanish-themed lunch, freshened up briefly in the cabin, then it was time for her to head back out again for the 2:30 deep-water snorkel.
This is where the snorkeling was on Punta Vicente Roca:

We were originally scheduled for a 5:15 Tender ride, but as you might imagine, two snorkels and a walk in the hot sun was enough, so we cancelled this one.
We actually managed to stay awake and watch that documentary we started the night before ("The Galapagos Affair").

Final step count for Day 7:
