Ecuador Trip Part 4: bartolome Island

The next day we got up at 4:30 a.m., got back on the same boat and took a three hour boat ride to Bartolome Island. On Bartolome Island, I saw more frigate birds, Sally Lightfoot Crabs, and marine iguanas. My group to a hike of about 360 stairs to the very top of the island. The view from there was absolutely stunning! After our hike we went down to one of the beaches and went snorkeling. While snorkeling, I got to swim with a white-tipped reef shark, a penguin, and thousands of tropical fish. It was one of the coolest things I have ever done! The underwater pictures where taken with an underwater disposable camera so the picture quality is not great, but it's better than nothing.
