The Day Tour to North Seymour Island departs from Itabaca Canal, with a pleasant one-hour sail north of Santa Cruz Island. This enchanting island greets visitors with playful sea lions dotting the docks and rocky shores. The landscape is marked by Palo Santo forests and vivid red soil. North Seymour is renowned for its wildlife, where visitors can observe nesting blue-footed boobies (or witness their courtship dances, depending on the season), swallow-tailed gulls perched on cliffs, and numerous frigatebirds in their nesting sites. Following the island exploration, snorkeling takes place at Las Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz Island. Here, you may encounter sharks, a variety of fish, and possibly even flamingos in the beach lagoon.
