Party Under the Sea – Black-Tie Optional

Galapagos Penguin

Snorkeling opportunities abound in the Galapagos Islands – there are multi-colored fish, sharks, octopus, sea horses, turtles, starfish… The most exciting thing to spot however, is the Galapagos Penguin. Endemic to this area, the penguins live in groups of up to 20 and have no fear of people. They clumsily walk along the rocky shores, and glide in the water at amazing speed.

You can imagine how excited we were when mid-snorkel, a group of 12 penguins joined us. Cursing the fact that we didn´t buy an underwater camera, we marvelled at their finesse in the water. And the fact that they have adapted to live in 30 degree weather.

Definately a Brel trip highlight.
