In the morning, we land at Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz Island. We have an easy and short walk along the white sand beach, where we see sea turtle nests and meet with a scientist who is studying sea turtles. Afterwards, we go for a quick snorkel where we see sharks and myriad fish. The water is a bit murky, making it hard to see.
In the afternoon, we head to the Santa Cruz Highlands to visit the giant tortoises. This is a repeat visit from my trip 10 years ago, but it's lovely to revisit these prehistoric creatures. The Santa Cruz Highlands have a lush, tropical landscape unlike most of the other islands in the archipelago. We explore the lava tunnels and get VERY close to giant tortoises at El Chato. Back on board the ship, we feast on pistachio crusted mahi mahi for dinner, followed by hot apple crisp for dessert. We head up to the sun deck after dinner for a dance party and cocktails.
Plans were described and booked with efficiency and speed. Adventure LIfe is outstanding in travel planning.

The travel planner was very knowledgeable about the countries I will be visiting and was very helpful in booking my trip. It was a great experience in dealing with them - very personable and promptly address any of my concerns.
