Full description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Enchanted Islands on the full-day tour to North Seymour Island. This tour takes you to one of the most biodiverse destinations in the Galapagos Islands, where you can explore the unique flora and fauna of the region. North Seymour Island, with an area of 1.9 km², is formed by elevated submarine lava and covered by low vegetation.

The tour starts at 8:00 am with pick up at your hotel in Puerto Ayora. You will be transferred to the Itabaca Channel, where you will board a yacht for an approximately 45-minute trip to North Seymour Island. Upon arrival, you will enjoy a 1 hour and 30 minute guided walk, during which you will observe a large population of red-breasted frigate birds, blue-footed boobies, sea lions and land iguanas. The certified naturalist tour guide will provide you with detailed information about the island's fauna and flora while you take pictures and enjoy the natural surroundings.

After the hike, depending on the itinerary, you will head to Mosquera Islet or Las Bachas Beach. At Mosquera Islet, you will have the opportunity to snorkel in turquoise waters and see sea turtles and baby sharks. At Las Bachas Beach, you will take a short walk along the shore to a lagoon where you will see Galapagos flamingos, marine iguanas and various birds. You will also snorkel in this area, giving you a complete experience both on land and in the water.

The tour includes transportation by yacht, bilingual (English and Spanish) certified naturalist tour guide, lunch on board and snacks, use of snorkeling equipment (mask and fins), long wetsuit and towels. Breakfast, soft drinks and gratuities are not included.

This was an excellent tour - the highlight of our trip to the Galapagos. The whole crew was great and the guide's knowledge and enthusiasm were very much appreciated. The yacht was very well-equipped, including the nice showers that were provided after each snorkelling activity. My only suggestion would be to possibly drop the final beach stop at Playa las Bachas. The waves are too strong to allow for any useful snorkelling and the beach is plagued by horse flies. It would certainly be ideal if more time could be spent on North Seymour island viewing the fantastic wildlife rather than having an hour on this beach at the end of the tour.

This was an amazing tour. We were able to get really close to blue footed boobies and frigate birds as well as land and marine iguanas. We also saw a couple of flamingos. It was a 45 min bus ride back to channel from puerto Ayora and 45 min boat ride. My favorite tour from Santa Cruz because it wasn’t a lot of travel for a lot of animals.
