The Galápagos sea lion is a species of sea lion that exclusively breeds on the Galápagos Islands and – in smaller numbers – on Isla de la Plata (Ecuador). Being fairly social, and one of the most numerous species in the Galápagos archipelago, they are often spotted sun-bathing on sandy shores or rock groups or gliding gracefully through the surf. Their loud bark, playful nature, and graceful agility in water make them the "welcoming party" of the islands.

It was on Santa Cruz Island, the same island where Charles Darwin Foundation is located.
We were on a diving liveaboard trip and on the last day, we was taken down to the island for the land trip.
Thanks. My question is: on which island / landing spot did you get this series of pics?
Thanks, @Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos.
Pics were taken during my visit to Galapagos in May 2012.
Great shots! Where did you get them?
Thanks, @CW10 :)
