Today is day two
in the Galapagos
aboard the natural paradise
last night we sailed
10 hours to Punta Vicente Roca.
We slept very well
for being on a moving boat
it was very comfortable
and then we woke up and had
the most delicious breakfast
and got straight on the dinghies
for a boat ride
it was the coolest boat ride
we've ever taken
[Music]
We saw so many animals.
I've never seen
so much wildlife in my life
and like nothing
was afraid of you
sea lions coming
right up to the boat
sea turtles that were just
like swimming beside the boat.
Iguanas everywhere
penguins
like we'd be taking
pictures of penguins
and be like,
oh there's a turtle, a sea lion
it was just hectic
it was awesome.
The sea lions are right behind us
And more species of birds
that I will ever remember.
Our naturalist on the boat
Jaime is so fun
because he gets so excited
about every single animal
it's just contagious
and he's been doing this
for 25 years
And he still has this phone out
taking pictures of like
everything we see
which is really cool.
[Music]
It was an incredible start
to the morning.
and now we get about
an hour break on the boat
before we get back
on the dinghies
but this time we get to jump in
and swim with the animals.
So we had a slight catastrophe
yesterday the GoPro Hero 5
which is supposed to be
completely waterproof
without a case
ours is apparently not
about half way
through snorkeling yesterday
the screen went black
I thought it had just died
came back open it up
there was water inside
they haven't been able
to revive it yet
we do have it sitting in rice
hoping that it's going to
come back on
but there are other people
on the trip that have cameras
so we'll try to steal
some of their footage
and give you a peek
of what it's like underwater.
Let's go snorkel.
Just telling you where
we're so far
yesterday we flew into the island
of Baltra and we stopped
at Dragon Hill
that's where we did
the snorkeling and saw
the massive land iguanas
then last night we sailed 10 hours
above the equator
then back across the equator
and now we're in
Vicente roca point.
[Music]
incredible.
I literally don't even know
how to begin to describe
like the last hour of our life.
That is the best snorkeling
I could have ever imagined
Where do you wanna start?
That's like the best anything
I've ever done
we should start
at the very beginning
so you take it out
to the point of this rock
and we jump in the water
as soon as we jump into the water
we're surrounded
by like three or four sea lion.
I'm already freaking out
and then we hear
the people on the boat
yelling.
Where is it?
Everybody looks up.
we were swimming in the water
with two orcas
with two orca killer whales
I didn't actually
like see them underwater
I just saw their fins
but they were like really close.
So I heard the guy yell whale
so I'm like where
like freaking out
and I look over it Nate
and I see it behind just like
drum out of the water and back in
so I still can't talk
and Nate's like where?
and then by the time I can speak
it was next to us
I saw one more time
kind of come out of the water
and go back under
so that was just mind-blowing
I couldn't just go back
in the boat
we keep going
we're seeing sea otters
we see a sea turtle
then we see like
hundreds of stingrays
swimming beneath us
I got to dive down
and like swim right above
a hundred golden stingrays
it was amazing
That was incredible
did you see that?
that was like
another one
of those magical moments
like when I got to swim down
with the dolphins.
Like out of 50-100 sea turtles.
At least.
But it got the point at the end
we weren't even pointing them out
to each other anymore
because we have seen so many.
And they are so unfazed by people
like we would just be swimming
right next to them
and the tide like you wouldn't
be swimming anymore and the tie
was kind of bring you in and out
like with the turtle
you just felt like...
for like five minutes
I just sat there like me
and a turtle like five feet apart
just like getting taken by the tide
It was magical
I mean there's no way
if any better than that.
We can literally like
leave the Galapagos right now
and I would be content.
I still can't believe
it actually happened
we came back to coffee
and snacks
and now we get to relax into lunch.
I'm also like
keep being distracted
because there's this sea otter
right out here just like floating
something really weird
Just hanging out.
So we started
our snorkel all the way over here
at the point
and then we went all the way
around island
into the cave
where we saw the stingrays
and then literally swam like
all the way over here.
[Music]
Thank you so much.
[Music]
Lunch on the roof
is so much fun
the food tasted
better than it looked
and then we just drove
two hours south to the island
of fernandina
and it's raining pretty hard
but it's ok because we're about
to go snorkeling.
Well I'm really glad
we met ourselves get out there
and go snorkeling it rained
the entire time
it is actually kind of cool
like with the rain beating down
on your back
while you're swimming.
We saw two sharks
that was the highlight
for me that was absolutely crazy
penguins a penguin
turtles, sea lions
a sea lion eating a fish
like we just saw that from like
far away above the water
but it was a great snorkel
we're really cold when got back
they had hot chocolate
ready for us
and then we took that
straight to the hot tub upstairs
and now that we're all dried off
we were going to go hiking
on this island behind me
in the rain.
[Music]
This is so weird
it it's like an iguana graveyard
there's hundreds of live ones
laying around but there's also
like at least 20 iguana skeletons
just spread out
across the rocks
apparently this is
where all the old ones hang out
and then they die
and just decompose here
around the rest of them
it's really weird
where is mommy?Fishing.
[Music]
This is so crazy.
we figured out that
the male is romantic
and the female
she was biting on him
apparently the males
don't retaliate.
The baby is nursing on the mommy.
Cutest thing I've ever seen.
[Music]
This has been so awesome
it finally quit raining
and we have just been like
walking with sea lions
and hundreds of iguanas
this is what I picture to go up
getting to be like
five feet away from a mom
nursing its baby
try no to get attacked by the dad.
[Music]
Such a good thing
what a way of ending the day
Not a bad way to end
like one of the best days
of our life
if you thinkin through
everything that happened
from snorkeling with orca whales
turtles, penguins
everything else we snorkeled with
to getting to be five feet away
from sea lions
one of the best days in my life
plus one of the most
beautiful sunsets
[Music]
enjoy your cruise
and for tomorrow's great adventures
[Music]
And it's raining quite a bit
Hey buddy.
