Galapagos- Tagus Cove, Punta Espinosa

Last night we sailed to Tagus Cove overnight so that we could get up early for a hike since it gets warm pretty fast.  In the morning we saw a whale swimming by the ship.  We took the dinghy to shore where we saw blue footed booby, cormorants and pelicans.  Then we hiked up the hill to look into the caldera.

We snorkeled after the hike.  Here, we saw starfish, puffer fish, turtles, urchins and sea lions.

We had lunch and sailed to Fernandina Island to hike at Punta Espinosa.  Iguanas and crabs covered the beach- as usual.  We saw oyster catchers, more cormorants, red, black and white mangroves, a yellow warbler and more.
