As being told the evening before (see \u201c<i>evening<\/i>\u201d), it\u2019s either a \u201cwet\u201d or \u201cdry\u201d landing. \u00a0If it\u2019s wet, passengers will have to get out of the pangas in about ankle to knee-deep water and walk onto the shore. \u00a0A dry landing means you won\u2019t get wet. \u00a0A morning visit can include a hike up to a viewpoint, some <a title=\"Snorkeling with Sea Lions Galapagos Islands\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/blog\/snorkeling-with-sea-lions\/\">snorkeling with sea lions<\/a> and <a title=\"Galapagos Penguin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/blog\/galapagos-penguin\/\">penguins<\/a>, a visit to the beach, or even a panga ride through an interesting area like a mangrove forest full of animals. \u00a0The guide will point out all of the interesting and <a title=\"Endemic Animals of Galapagos\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/blog\/endemic-animals-of-galapagos\/\">unique Galapagos species<\/a> and <a title=\"HISTORY OF THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/info\/history\/?utm_source=travel-guide&amp;utm_medium=blog-post&amp;utm_term=blog-post&amp;utm_content=blog-post&amp;utm_campaign=blog-post\">history<\/a>!

Like breakfast, it is often served buffet-style. \u00a0Most Galapagos ships take great pride in their food so that lunch can include anything from soups to main courses, salads, desserts and side dishes. \u00a0Often, there is fine seafood or international dishes, but you also might have the pleasure to relish on local <a title=\"Ecuadorian Cuisine Delights\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/blog\/ecuadorian-cuisine\/\">Ecuadorian food<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/cuisine-sprawn-cruise-galapagos-ecuador-endemic-vacation-travel.jpg\" alt=\"cuisine sprawn cruise galapagos ecuador endemic vacation travel\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During and after lunch, the ship will move into position for the afternoon excursion. You will usually have a couple hours time to take a nap, write postcards, read a book, etc. \u00a0On the better cruises, naturalist guides will often offer an optional talk about some aspect of the islands, such as geology, history, <a title=\"Charles Darwin, Galapagos &amp; the Origin of Species\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/blog\/darwin-and-origin-of-species\/\">Charles Darwin\u2019s visit and theories<\/a>, marine currents or other interesting topics.<\/p>\n<p>After some relaxing hours, you will get ready for the afternoon excursion. Just as in the morning, the naturalist guide will round up the guests and take them on the tour. This, again, might be hiking through the highlands, snorkeling with <a title=\"GALAPAGOS GIANT TORTOISE\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/nature\/wildlife\/reptiles\/giant-tortoise.html?utm_source=travel-guide&amp;utm_medium=blog-post&amp;utm_term=blog-post&amp;utm_content=blog-post&amp;utm_campaign=blog-post\">tortoises<\/a>, visiting the <a title=\"GALAPAGOS MAMMALS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/nature\/wildlife\/mammals\/#sea-lions?utm_source=travel-guide&amp;utm_medium=blog-post&amp;utm_term=blog-post&amp;utm_content=blog-post&amp;utm_campaign=blog-post\">sea lions<\/a> and <a title=\"THE MARINE IGUANA\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/nature\/wildlife\/reptiles\/marine-iguana.html?utm_source=travel-guide&amp;utm_medium=blog-post&amp;utm_term=blog-post&amp;utm_content=blog-post&amp;utm_campaign=blog-post\">iguanas<\/a> relaxing at some nice beach, a panga ride around an island to get as close as possible to nesting <a title=\"GALAPAGOS SEA BIRDS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosislands.com\/nature\/wildlife\/birds\/sea-birds.html?utm_source=travel-guide&amp;utm_medium=blog-post&amp;utm_term=blog-post&amp;utm_content=blog-post&amp;utm_campaign=blog-post\">seabirds<\/a> or whatever else is on the schedule. To make sure, that no one carries any seeds etc. from one island to another, you will wash away any dust remaining on your shoes before entering a new island with its new wildlife.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Evening<\/h2>\n<p>When returning from your second excursion, you already might be quite hungry again. But don\u2019t worry, you will soon relish tasty dishes. Dinner may be a buffet, but on some cruises, guests will select from a menu at lunch time and the dinner they chose will be ready for them in the evening. Most cruises offer drinks, although alcohol and soft drinks usually have an extra cost.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, the naturalist guides will talk about the plan for the next day including practical information like the type of landing, what to wear, the difficulty of the hike, etc. \u00a0If guests are leaving the next day, the guides will tell them what to expect at the airport, how to pay their bar tab and other useful information. \u00a0After the briefing, many guests like to enjoy a drink and socialize getting to know each other and talking about their impressions of the day. \u00a0If the ship is in port, you may be lucky and musicians and\/or dancers are invited aboard for the enjoyment of the passengers. \u00a0Though many guests are exhausted from the exciting day\u2019s excursions and choose to go to bed early to rest in order to be fit for the next day!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
