-Walking on all the different sand beaches including Rabida, the red sand island, black sand, and white sand islands
-Snorkeling with Galápagos penguins (they swim so fast), tortoises, and even some white tipped sharks and reef sharks (I was terrified and had to hold my sisters hand...but we made it out alive)
-Seeing giant land tortoises in their natural habitat (there are only two places in the world you can do this: Galápagos and the Seychelles), they grow to be over 100 years old and over 500 pounds...definitely living up to their name!
-Watching blue footed boobies dive in the water like torpedoes to hunt
-Walking on lava
-Viewing Darwin's lake from all different angles, it's beautiful
-Finding sea lions in all kinds of places including on boats, in the fish market, on benches, curled up on the beach, etc.
-Planting scalesia and Galápagos coffee plants to help with the reforestation efforts in the islands
The Galápagos Islands are truly a unique and magical place; I feel so thankful that I got to go with my family!
