So far we have snorkeled at 2 different islands and\u00a0been totally blown away as we have been swimming with sea turtles, sea\u00a0lions, sting rays, white tip sharks, giant iguanas and beautiful fish. We have also seen many <\/em>birds, in particular\u00a02 baby galapagos owls nesting in a 200 year old\u00a0cebol tree!<\/p>\n
