North Seymour Island is a small island and it lays 7 km to the north from the Baltra Island. The island by itself is a home of one of the biggest and most active sea bird breeding colonies of Galapagos Islands. This piece of land in the ocean is quite dry and has no natural water resources, and therefore inhabited by the land iguanas and lizards, that rely on the succulent flowers of the cactus plants as the water source. No matter what time of the year you are coming to North Seymour, it always full of wildlife.

We start explore the island with a guided by the National Park accredited professional English and Spanish speaking guide taking approximately 1.5 mile (or 2.5 km) walk along the trail.

At the end of exploring North Seymour Island and getting incredible photos and memories you will get back to the boat and will be served with a hot tasty lunch and soft drinks. After lunch we say good bye to the North Seymour and sail to the Noth coast of Santa Cruz Island where we will land to the incredibly beautiful Las Bacchas Beach.
