Rabida

This island reopened to tourism after successful irradication of goats and destructive Norwegian rats which had come from the ships.  We started our visit here with a wonderful deep water snorkel trip along the rocky shoreline. The fish were plentiful and of many coulourful varieties and visibility was good.  With provided shorty wetsuits the hour passed quickly.  After a quick change we took a lovely hike on the island which provided some beautiful views. In the evening one of the National Geographic photographers gave a presentation on composition which was really interesting.
