We were on Santiago Island at sunrise, with the Monk Rock in front of us. It was the ideal day! Most visitors opted for snorkeling in addition to a quick panga trip. Wilmer, the panga driver, saw a large fin breaking the surface right close to us as we were going to round the bay’s border. At first, we had no idea what it was until this enormous beast revealed a little more of its body to us. What a massive manta ray! From tip to tip, it measured roughly three meters.
An Unforgettable Experience on Santiago Island
All of the pangas arrived at our location right away, and even though they could not view the manta ray for some time, everyone had the opportunity to do so. It was a momentous day for all of them. As we eventually arrived at our snorkeling site, silence persisted. Galapagos is a treasure trove that will never end!
