Seymour Norte
This tour has two options for visiting the island. The first option is to explore the island by walking around as well as snorkeling. The second option is to explore the island by diving in its surrounding waters. In order to go diving, you must have an open-water diving certificate.
If you enjoy birdwatching or are an avid birder, the walking tour is perfect, you may be surprised by what you see.
The walking tour lasts approximately an hour and a half. During this tour, you will be able to observe land iguanas and birdwatch frigatebirds. Male frigatebirds are easily distinguishable due to their red-feathered chest. During mating season, their chest size increases in an attempt to attract a mate. Those with the largest chest are able to attract a mate faster.
The island has a colony of blue-footed boobys, baby sea lions, lava gulls (Leucophaeus fuliginosus – endemic to the Galápagos Islands), and the great blue heron.
The tour will later visit a beach named “Las Bachas”, where thanks to its turquoise-colored water you will be able to snorkel and observe sea turtles as well as baby sharks.
Later on, you will have the opportunity to observe the beautiful Galápagos flamingos and other seabirds.
It is an ideal place for intermediate to advanced-level divers. It has an area that is 28 meters (92 ft.) deep where you will be able to explore and enjoy the diverse marine life available. For those that are not comfortable with deep waters, there is still an option for you. There is a location that is 18 meters (59 ft.) deep with a sandy bottom where you will get to explore and enjoy the marine life this island has to offer.
