The tour begins with a guided walk along the 2.5km trail on North Seymour Island. The guide will explain to you (in English and Spanish) the attractions of the island and will comment on details and information about the blue-footed boobies and their nests that you will see along the way, frigate birds, tailed gulls and other seabirds that nest in this Island. You will also be able to observe sea lions, land and marine iguanas, pelicans, lava lizards and Galapagos snakes. After this walk (which lasts approximately 1 hour), you return to the boat where you can enjoy a hot lunch and soft drinks before heading to Bachas beach located on the north coast of Santa Cruz where you will snorkel (about 1 hour) and you can see sea turtles, white tip sharks, sea lions or take a relaxing walk on the sand. Back at the Itabaca canal, the bus will be waiting for you to transport you back to your hotel.
