A private, fully guided day on North Seymour — the Galápagos' most wildlife-dense islet — where blue-footed boobies perform mating dances feet away and frigatebirds inflate scarlet pouches overhead. Snorkel alongside sea turtles and reef sharks in gin-clear Pacific waters.
What to expect
Your private panga (zodiac) lands on North Seymour's rocky shore, where the loop trail delivers face-to-face encounters with nesting blue-footed boobies, magnificent frigatebirds and colonies of Galápagos sea lions — all utterly unperturbed by humans. A bilingual certified naturalist guides you through each sighting with deep ecological context. After the trail, your crew anchors in a sheltered cove for snorkeling with rays, sea turtles and the occasional white-tipped reef shark. A gourmet lunch is served on board under the equatorial sun.
Good to know
Pre-book well in advance — private permits for North Seymour are limited. Factor in the USD 200 Galápagos National Park entrance fee (paid separately on arrival if not already covered). Confirm all-aboard time with your ship and allow 30 min buffer; the island is a short panga ride from most anchorages.
