Ecuador
Visit North Seymour Island
An excursion to Seymour Norte where it seems that you've landed in a National Geographic documentary. Add two days to this itinerary for a day trip to Bartolomé island and to explore Tortuga Bay and Las Grietas on Santa Cruz.
Close wildlife encounters at Las Bachas Beach
Before heading to Seymour, the boat moors at a secluded beach on Santa Cruz. Here you'll find flamingos and can snorkel with big tropical fish.
In awe of fascinating North Seymour
North Seymour is truly phenomenal. Witness the mating dance of the frigate birds with their inflated red throat sack, watch blue-footed boobies feeding their young, and observe new-born sea lion pups. Moreover, the landscape is unique, so different from the other islands. The animals come very close to you here, always make sure to keep a distance of 2 metres.
The couple from Black Pearl B&B on Isabela can arrange a taxi to pick you up at the dock after the North Seymour tour.
The highlands of Santa Cruz
There are 3 stops on this tour: 🔹 Los Gemelos: two craters located in a mystique forest with distinct native vegetation. 🔹 Next stop is the Primicias tortoise reserve. Skip this if you can or ask to visit another reserve. This one felt more like a zoo. 🔹 Lastly, the tour stops at a 400-metre long lava tunnel. It's pretty cool walking through it from one side to the other.
