Galapagos 2025 part 8: Santa Cruz: Black Turtle Cove, Baltra

Slide show option — just for looking at the pictures.

Sadly, our last day with Jonathan, the Nemo crew and the Galapagos. The day started early with a panga ride about Black Turtle Cove before breakfast and than saying our goodbyes. In the mangrove surrounded bay, we saw turtles and sharks in the water from the boat. There were also frigatebirds overhead and feeding to keep our eyes focused.

When we got back to the boat, we had to say goodbye to a sea lion lounging on the lower deck. After breakfast, we loaded into the panga one last time and then Jonathan accompanied us to the airport to make sure we all had boarding passes and were set for the flight back to Quito.

Truly a remarkable week and a trip of a lifetime.
Part 9: 1/20/25 - 1/21/25: Quito: TelefériQo Cable Car, Basílica del Voto Nacional; home.
