Embarking on this marine adventure was a delightful experience, as I was able to witness an array of wildlife in their natural habitat. The boat ride was smooth, although there were a few moments when I felt rushed past some of the more captivating spots. Discovering ancient geoglyphs etched on the coastline added a fascinating layer to the trip, making it not just about the islands but also about the rich history intertwined with the vibrant marine life.

We were mesmerized by the sight of playful sea lions lounging on the rocky outcrops, while the ancient geoglyphs etched into the hillsides whispered stories of the past. However, the two-hour duration felt a bit short for our curiosity about the thriving marine life surrounding the islands.
