North Seymour Day Cruise
Tour description
This is a great tour for wildlife.
The tour leaves Puerto Ayora at 8am and arrives back around 4pm. The navigation from the north of Santa Cruz is short, taking about 30 minutes to sail to the north of Baltra Island, where the islet of North Seymour is situated. Lunch is included on board.
You will see nesting frigates including the inflated red pouches of males and chicks. There are land iguanas on this island, which are often found shading under the cacti. Blue-footed boobies are often sited at some stage of their nesting, including courtship and the famous booby dance. With sealions, marine iguanas and swallow-tailed gulls, greeting you at the landing site, you should enjoy the activity on this island.
Other activities include a snorkel along the cliffs of North Seymour which can be really abundant with fish. Also, another site will be visited, which is often Mosquera Islet, an enormous sealion colony on a small sand spit.
