Bartolome Island

After visiting Rabida Galapagos, our Galapagos island holiday took us to Bartolome Island.

This is a very popular Galapagos cruise destination but it is worthwhile a visit.
Especially if you love snorkeling and sea-life like we do, Bartolome Island is paradise.
Penguins are just shooting next to you and the sea lions are so curious, that they come to you instead of you having to look for them once you are in the water.
It’s wonderful how these sea creatures were playing with us and with our flippers.
Make sure to bring a disposable underwater camera when you plan your Galapagos island holiday: it’s well worth your while when you love snorkeling!
At the end of the afternoon, we climbed the Bartolome island volcano, saw a huge Galapagos snake on the way and admired to view on top of the Bartolome island volcano admiring Pinnacle rock and Sullivan Bay.

We had a lovely dinner on our little Galapagos cruise ship and headed from Bartolome Island for a night’s travel to Genovesa Island. (see our next post)
