Description

The journey starts with a 40-minute bus ride from the hotel to the Itabaca Chanel. Then, a comfortable yacht is going to take you to North Seymour Island, where the adventurers will be amazed at the unique wildlife (flora and fauna) in natural state. The tour consists of approximately two-and a half-hour trail where guests can shoot wonderful pictures. One can observe the largest colony of magnificent frigate birds, swallow tailed gulls, blue-footed boobies, and land iguanas, as well as sea lions and marine iguanas along the coast. The trip will take travelers to the pristine Mosquera. This small, flat, and sandy islet offers the adventurers the perfect sea lion behavior observation. It is also possible to observe lava gulls, coastal birds, and Sally light-footed crabs. While enjoying the hot lunch in the cabins of the yacht, passengers will be taken to the Bachas Beach. The beach is a paradise-like place for a walk, swim and enjoying the sun. Snorkeling will surprise you with colorful reef fish, various rays, white tip reef sharks, and green turtles. The trip takes you to the Chanel, then back to the hotel by bus. 

It is recommended to wear a wetsuit in order to neutralize the sea temperature because it falls under 20ºC from September to December and it is up of 27ºC from January to August.
