After a magical introduction to the Galapagos on Baltra Island, today marked the beginning of something truly extraordinary—our cruise aboard the Galapagos Legend. Just saying the name gave us chills. This wasn’t just a boat—it was our gateway to a world that time forgot.

As we stepped onto the Legend, we were instantly charmed. The ship is a perfect blend of comfort and adventure, designed to explore these remote islands without sacrificing style. With spacious decks, cozy cabins, and panoramic lounges, it felt like our own little floating sanctuary. And the best part? Every window framed a living postcard of the Galapagos.

The itinerary ahead promised days filled with wonder, and today was no exception. Our first destination was North Seymour Island. Here, nature doesn’t tiptoe around—it leaps right into your path. We wandered among colonies of blue-footed boobies performing their playful dances, watched frigatebirds puff their scarlet throat pouches, and came just a few steps away from dozing sea lions. The energy here is raw, wild, and utterly magical.
