Join SDBA in the Galapagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands have long intrigued outsiders with their endemic flora and fauna, geological activity, and unusual terrain. Join the San Diego Bird Alliance on this small-group cruise expedition that offers a front-row seat for exploring the eastern islands. Stunning formations like saw-toothed Kicker Rock and Cerro Brujo, volcanic calderas, sandy beaches, and flamingo lagoons play host to iconic wildlife like Red- and Blue-footed Boobies, sea turtles, giant tortoises, iguanas, and more. With no
fear of human predation, many creatures can be approached and photographed at close range; you can even swim with the sea lions. For more information or to enroll:
