On our first night we navigated to the island of Genovesa, known as "Bird Island." The boat had already anchored when we awoke so all we needed to do was take a smaller, inflatable boat to a coral beach in Darwin Bay. There we saw red footed boobies, nazca boobies, frigates, swallow-tailed gulls, Galapagos mocking birds, storm petrels, more finches, and sea lions. Genovesa is one of the most enchanting islands of the Galapagos, and perhaps our favorite for the incredible variety of birds that nest here. After our walk we snorkeled and were met by three seas lions looking to play with us. In a land as beautiful as this, you understand the meaning of being one with nature, and you can't help but wonder how we drifted so far.
