This Is Where the Galápagos Changed for Us
We had already experienced parts of the Galápagos… but this is where it started to feel different.
After leaving San Cristobal, we made our way to Isabela Island — the largest island in the Galápagos. What we found here wasn’t just incredible wildlife, but an experience that felt completely different from anywhere we’ve been before.
From orcas in the open ocean, to biking across Isabela to the Wall of Tears, to penguins swimming around our boat… this was one of those days that stays with you.
