About this trip

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.

Fue una visita realmente espectacular. Todo fue perfecto: el barco, la atención de la tripulación, la comida, el guía naturalista y, sobre todo, el espectacular paisaje de Bartolomé Island y el snorkel en Sulivan bay donde vimos pingüinos, tiburones, tortugas y mil tipos de peces distintos. Una locura de la naturaleza. Si viajan a Santa Cruz, no dejen de hacer este tour...vale realmente la pena

NO RECOMENDADO, CUIDADO, ESTAFA. Una verdadera estafa, primero el turoperador pidió que canceláramos por civitatis porque demoraban en pasar. Luego le pasamos la dirección y no sabíamos que debíamos ir a Galápagos, dado que estábamos en Manta y casi unos 20 días antes que habíamos dicho esto, no nos dijeron nada, escribieron el día antes que no podían hacer nada, y que no se dieron cuenta que nuestro hotel estaba en Manta. Perdimos todo el dinero, nos sentimos estafados, la realidad es que es una verguenza la agencia, no lo recomiendo para nada.

The trip itself was fine but the organization was lacking. We did not get any communication regarding pick up time or meeting place until I called the day prior. And it seemed as if they were not expecting us. When we were dropped off at the port for the ferry to the speed boat to get to Isabela Island we were advised that the tour leader would have our names displayed. The speed boat ride was very harsh and if I had any medical issues ... back sensitivity, this would have been a disaster. Once on Isabela Island, our names were nowhere to be found and a tour leader had to call the tour operator who then added us to his list. Once the land tour was completed by Victor, we were handed over to Andrea for the kayaking portion of the tour. This felt out of sorts and we felt as if we were best being accommodated by Victor and Andrea as a stop gap measure. This was very disappointing as this was the most costly all the tours we did in the 5 days we were in the Galapagos. Would not use the services again or recommend them.

One of the best vacations, ever! Galapagos Islands are just out of this world. Full of nature, beauty, flora and fauna, including some rare & almost extinct species! Overall a wonderful time!
