Hello All,
I am sure that many of you have already been there, and I have a few questions I would like your kind answers to, please. Will be Cruising.
1. Do you need a waterproof camera bag/backpac going on and off the small boats.
2. Should I take 2 cameras in the event of one failing...ya never know??
3. What lenses...I understand that a zoom is not really that necessary...like a 300??? I have a Nikon
d7200 (which I just bought used, a deal too good to pass up)
and a Sony a6500.(Still a Nikon lover at heart...)
4. Any and all info that you would like to share with me, I will be most grateful to read.
PS...I am 77 and have new knees but, they do not stop me...will be taking my walking stick as I know
the terrain is not smooth.
Thank YOU!! I drink my coffee with ya'll every morning...this is an AWESOME site and I have learned to much from all of you.

When my wife and I went to the Galapagos a few years back half of the day was a guided tour of the islands and another half was skin diving. Although I did not use a waterproof bag, a rain shield would not be a bad idea to protect your camera from the spray of the zodiacs. If possible take a waterproof point and shoot camera would also be helpful for when you are skin diving. You are correct, you will not need telephoto lens because all of the animals are very approachable. Good luck and enjoy the blue footed boobies.
