Animals we saw: loads of fish. Bluefooted boobies,  massive sea turtles, white tip sharks, sea lions, marine iguanas, pelicans, sally lightfoot crabs, did I say loads of fish?, eels, and two octopus! While I was watching a school of tiny translucent wiggly fish wondering if they were the sort that you make whitebait from, I was startled to see a sea turtle directly underneath me. I’m guessing it was just a couple meters below, feeding on the greenery on the rocks. And it was about a meter long. The coolest part of snorkeling with sea turtles is that they have to come up to the surface for air, and so you get to see their weird reptile heads pop up out of the water which sort of proves to my totally blown mind that the things going on under the water really are… Real!

The boat had room for 10 punters, and the crew fed us lunch on board (rice, vegetables and chicken)
