YACHT TOUR TO NORTH SEYMOUR ISLAND

Breakfast at your hotel and then we pick you up to take our comfortable yacht that will take us to the incredible island of North Seymour. This uninhabited island is one of our favorites for animal lovers. Here you will see a large colony of Blue-footed boobies and the extremely photogenic Great Frigate birds. Also lookout for swallow-tailed gulls, marine iguanas, land iguanas, sea lions and more.

North Seymour is particularly famous for its elegant Frigate birds that, during mating season, rewards us with the vision (and photographs) of males inflating their guttural pouch into an enormous scarlet-red balloon to attract the females.

After a delicious lunch onboard the yacht, we head to Bachas Beach, a beautiful white coralline expanse. This is the perfect place for practicing snorkeling, swimming or to simply enjoy the white soft sand. Several brackish lagoons only a few steps away from the sea provide feeding grounds for various wading birds, from stilts to flamingos.

Overnight at your Hotel.

By Maxine G for T. Maxine x 1 - 6 Day "Galapagos Wisdom" Tour - ESSENTIAL on 19 Mar, 2023

One word: fantastic!!! 10 days perfectly organised, and not only…: due to political problems in Peru we had to delay our arrival on the islands by more than 2 days...but our contact person, Juan, managed to reorganize the trip into 48 hours (Saturday and Sunday!) and managed to make us visit everything that was planned without missing anything! He followed and helped us even beyond what was due: Thank you!!! All the people we met, drivers, guides and organizers were wonderful! Professionalism, punctuality, availability really rare to find! Relying on them was the best choice we could have made! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
