The first day we were on San Cristobal, we took a snorkeling day trip to Lobos Island and Leon Dormido. Our first snorkeling stop was near Lobos Island. We saw sea turtles, marine iguanas, sea lions, many kinds of fish, and a few different kinds of sea urchins.
We moved on to the second snorkeling spot at Leon Dormido. We snorkeled through the channel and saw some reef sharks, green sea turtles, a few fish, and group of manta rays. Nesting and resting on the rocks above us were nasca boobies, blue footed boobies and pelicans.
Note: The underwater pictures are bad quality because the film went through an x-ray machine in airport security.

After the snorkeling sites, the guide took us to a beach for lunch. We roamed the beach and tide pools in the surrounding area. The endemic San Cristobal mocking bird, the endemic Galapagos lava gull, an octopus, pelicans and mullets that look like small spineless puffer fish all lived there.
