North Seymour Island Tour

On this day trip from Santa Cruz Island, visit North Seymour Island, where the wildlife of the Galapagos Archipelago thrives.

Tour Details

At the scheduled time, pickup will occur at your hotel on Santa Cruz Island. We will drive to the Itabaca Channel and take a ferry to Baltra Island.

Upon arrival, we will take a 35-minute yacht ride to North Seymour Island. On this volcanic islet, we will observe colonies of frigate birds, gulls, and blue-footed boobies, and, if it is mating season, witness their mating rituals.

This area features palo santo trees, which were historically used by shamans for therapeutic purposes. We will also see areas of cactus and salt bushes. As we walk, watch for the endemic Galapagos iguana. Additionally, we will spot sea lions on the opposite side of the island.

We will then enjoy a traditional lunch on the beach or on the boat, featuring rice and fish. Following lunch, we will sail back to the north coast of Santa Cruz Island, disembarking at Las Bachas beach. Here, you will have about 40 minutes of free time to snorkel and observe sea turtles, starfish, and reef sharks.

Finally, we will return to your hotel on Santa Cruz Island, concluding this 7-hour activity.
