Sea Kayaking

In the morning we visited the various animal life around Port Ayora. There seemed to be a lot more sea lions lounging around today. 



In the afternoon we went on a guided tour in sea kayaks around Finch Bay.  We left our cameras on dry land, so we have no pictures to share.  However, we saw sting rays, a sea turtle (very cute) and a marine iguana swimming.  
We saw lots of marine birds, including blue footed boobies.  There were a couple perched on a cliff ledge not too far above us, so we got a good look at them.  We also watched some dive for fish. The height and velocity that they make the dive is very intense to see. 

It is amazing that so many of the Galapagacian creatures are not afraid of humans and we can have the opportunity to see them up close, in their natural habitat.
