Description
In the morning, your driver will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the "Itabaca Canal" where you will take your yacht that will take you to North Seymour Island, which is a spectacular place to hike, swim and enjoy snorkeling.
On this island, you can see trees of holy stick, colonies of blue-footed boobies performing their mating ritual in the open spaces of the island, the female booby is large and likes to pee a little more than the male. Sometimes, boobies nest right on the tourist route, so you'll have to be careful not to step on them while walking. You will be able to see the nests of many of these species very close, such as seagulls, frigates and yellow spinners.
Most Galapagos birds are not afraid of humans. On the other side of the island and while the waves break on the rocks, you can also see the naughty sea lions playing and surfing in the sea. North Seymour is practically flat and arid, with some vegetation that includes cacti, holy stick trees and salt bushes.
The area of
the islands is approximately 1.9 square kilometers and has a maximum altitude of 28 meters. North Seymour Island is located near Baltra Island (this is the island of arrival and departure of Galapagos). North Seymour was formed by an elevation of lava rocks under the ocean. Seymour Island is separated from Baltra Island by a small canal. The island is known as the "North Seymour", while Baltra Island is also known as "South Seymour".
There is a circular trail on North Seymour Island about 2 kilometers long that crosses the interior of the island and allows you to explore the rocky coast. This trail will take you through some of the largest colonies in the Galapagos Islands. Once you have done all the activities, you will stay in Puerto Ayora.
