The landing is rich in wildlife: sea-lions, swallow-tailed gulls, lava gulls, tropicbirds, brown noddy terns and pelicans. The trail is a large loop; you can either go clockwise along the shore or head inland to visit the booby colony first.<\/p>\n<p><b>DAY 4 &#8211; Bartolome Island and Sullivan Bay<\/b><br \/>\nThe beach landing is wet. A short ten-minute walk across a sand dune takes you to the southern beach, where harmless black-tipped reef sharks and rays are often seen in the warm, shallow water.<\/p>\n<p>Ghost crabs creep over the sand and disappear as you approach. Look up at the sky and often you may see a juvenile Galapagos hawk hovering overhead.<\/p>\n<p><b>DAY 5 &#8211; Your choice<\/b><br \/>\nMaybe a sunrise shoot and reflect on the rather hectic couple of weeks and think about the upcoming trip to Easter Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Resort we are now staying is right on the water and will offer photo opportunities.
