Plaza Sur + North Seymour: Twin-Island Naturalist Expedition

Combine two of the Galápagos' most wildlife-dense islands in a single expert-led day: Plaza Sur's sea lion colony and land iguanas, then North Seymour's staggering frigatebird and blue-footed booby breeding grounds. Twice the wonder, one extraordinary day.

What to expect

Your certified guide meets you dockside in Puerto Ayora and leads you aboard a comfortable small-group boat. Plaza Sur greets you with a carpet of copper-coloured sesuvium plants, towering Opuntia cacti, and fearless Galápagos sea lions lounging across every surface. After a packed lunch on board, you cross to North Seymour where male frigatebirds inflate scarlet throat pouches in courtship displays just metres away, and blue-footed boobies perform their famous sky-pointing dance on the path in front of you. Snorkelling in the channel between islands offers encounters with sea turtles and Galápagos reef sharks.
