silversea orgin - fernandina & ISABELA ISLANDS, galapagos, ecuador - day 11 - september 16, 2025

This morning we slept in and had a late breakfast! The trip has been very bust so far with lots of activity, it is nice to take a break when you can.

This morning we are taking zodiacs around the Fernandina to see the sights - this is and excellent way to get around, it is far more relaxing that the long hikes over lava! We saw sea lions, brown pelicans, and cormorants.

In the afternoon we relocated the ship to Isabela Island and took a zodiac to see baby sharks, cow eagle rays, sting rays, sea turtles, sea lions, and penguins!

Overnight we had some really rough seas - the Silver Orgin is not a large ship - it can really get to rocking. Makes it hard to eat dinner or sleep. There were a few times that I was amazed I stayed in the bed!
