Galapagos Islands - Espanola Island

Matt and I went on a trip of a lifetime to the Galapagos Islands this past May!!!  Amazing doesn't even begin to describe our experience and our time there.


We visited a few different islands but Espanola was definitely our favourite.  Espanola is the only island in the Galapagos where you will find the waved albatross.  We not only saw these beautiful birds but also witnessed them courting!! I was in awe.  It is quite an involved dance- bowing, clacking of beaks, squawking.  Quite a sight!

We also saw the blue footed booby doing their infamous mating dance.  AMAZING!!!  You are so close to them (and all the animals) and yet they are completely oblivious to you.



Here are some of the amazing animals from Espanola Island!
