Punts Vincente Roca Isabela Island

We started our visit here with a deep water snorkel along the cliffs. The visibility was not good and the best part was actually looking at the cliffs though having a Galapogos penguin swim in front of us and seeing two sea turtles did make it a worthwhile trip. I could have done without the jellyfish sting but the application of vinegar certainly helped.  Returning from snorkeling we went for a zodiac ride along the base of the cliffs where we saw marine turtles, boobies ,penguins ,pelicans, cormorants,iguanas and fur seals which are only found in his part of the world and are very small.  In the evening the ship sIled over the equator while we had a wine tasting and cocktail party on the back deck complete with pirates.
