Isla San Cristobal : Galapagos, Ecuador : Trip Report

Shore Excursion to Isla San Cristobal

Our second shore excursion in the Galapagos was at the northern tip of Isla San Cristobal at an area known as Punta Pitt. This was a shore excursion where we would see more of the endemic Galapagos flora and fauna. This one involved a pretty good hike up between two hills. Here we saw more Sea Lions, Marine Iguanas and just a couple Sally Lightfoot Crabs. We also saw a couple Blue Footed Boobies, one of which had a "Baby Booby".

This was an ok excursion. We thought we'd see the other varieties of Boobies here but unfortunately we saw one Red Footed Booby fly over quickly and the other Boobies we only saw from a great distance. Bummer.
