Overview
North Seymour packs land iguanas, frigatebirds and blue-footed boobies into 1.9 square kilometres. After lunch on board you snorkel at Playa Bachas or Mosquera Islet, whichever the sea allows.
Hotel pick-up at 06:00, then approximately one hour of navigation to North Seymour, an island north of Baltra covering about 1.9 square kilometres.
On the trail you may see land iguanas, magnificent frigatebirds with red gular pouches, and blue-footed boobies, known for their courtship dance. Sea lions use the water and the shoreline.
Lunch on board while the boat moves to the afternoon site: snorkeling at Playa Bachas or Mosquera Islet, depending on sea conditions and the day's operation. In the clear water you may find tropical fish and, with luck, swim alongside sea lions. Return to the hotel at approximately 16:00.
