Your Sunday journey will begin with the bus transfer from the meeting point to the Itabaca Channel. Then, board the Galaxy Daily heading to Carrion Point, where your adventure will begin. At Carrion Point, discover the Galapagos marine fauna while snorkeling. With some luck, you will see white-tip sharks and a great variety of fish, sea turtles, and rays. After enjoying your journey at Carrion, have a succulent lunch onboard.
South Plazas Island is located on the east side of Santa Cruz Island. Plazas have an incredible landscape, and on your arrival, have a dry landing while sea lions welcome you at the shore. Begin your walk along a path through an Opuntia Cactus forest. Don't be distracted by the landscape beauty because you must watch out for your steps. There are many land iguanas, the smallest species in the archipelago! Continuing your tour, reach the fantastic, windy cliff. Here you can see the red-billed tropical birds, swallow-tailed gulls, brown pelicans, and the impressive frigate bird usually flying around. The trail meanders along the edge of the ridge for a few hundred meters. While you continue your walk, you will find the well-known "single sea lion colony": a heterogeneous collection of male sea lions, mostly elderly, who have lost their territories. Yet, surprisingly, they climb up the cliff via some rocky steps. Try to spot some of the battle scars and shark bites that many of these lone sea lions have on their bodies.
