Here, we will see tortoises from different islands. The animals are found inlarge semi natural pens for their protection, but also to ensure an easy view for the visitors. The pens are dividedaccording to four different stages: eggs, neonates, juveniles (held here until they are mature enough to be"repatriated"), and adults. Afterward, we will head back to Puerto Ayora, where we will have some time toexplore the town and shops by ourselves (this is the only chance of shopping during on this itinerary) beforeboarding the M/Y WildAid’s Passion at around 5:00 p.m.Once on board, the crew and captain will welcome us, have a short security drill and enjoy dinner and the briefingfor the next day´s activities.
