Paw Paw - Log Day 46: A Magical Day Beyond Our Wildest Dreams



Yesterday we quibbled about spending nearly $200 on a tour to Los Tuneles, but are we glad we did! We had the most magnificent day and, no matter what else happens or whatever else we experience during the remainder of our circumnavigation, it will be icing on the cake after today.

We were collected from Paw Paw by a tour boat and headed up the west coast of Isla Isabela. The tour involved a short stop at Roca Union to view a different type of boobie and then headed to Cabo Rosa for two separate snorkeling adventures that were beyond our wildest dreams. We saw huge turtles that were at least 5-6ft long and 4ft wide, baby and adult seahorses, schools of golden rays, white-tipped sharks, royal angel fish, penguins and not just one or two of each of these, but countless. They were so unperturbed by our presence that we came within a few feet of these creatures. The penguins allowed us to come within a foot of them while they bathed in the sun. The turtles gracefully swam along side us and amongst us at arms length.

The last part of the tour involved a meander through an unbelievable lava landscape of lava arches with cacti growing out of them and surrounded by the clearest water we have ever seen.

The lunch that was provided was definitely welcomed, but the locally produced oranges served for dessert were the sweetest and juiciest we have ever tasted.

What a magical day!
