DAY 7

NORTH SEYMOUR (Snorkeling, bird watching, trekking)

A small island with a similar appearance to the islands of Baltra or South Seymour, including vegetation characteristic of the arid zones of the islands, such as the Galapagos prickly pear, incense tree, and salt bushes.


We will walk about 2 km along the rocky coast, observing nests of the blue-footed Boobies and the Magnificent Frigatebirds.  These birds have an interesting relationship, sharing the nesting areas with each other.

BACHAS (Beach and bird watching)

After walking about 10 minutes northward, we arrive at a long beach where marine turtles nest, and where we must walk carefully to avoid disturbing the nests. 

A tranquil beach with crystalline waters, we take a break to relax and watch migratory birds and occasionally flamingoes in the area.

Formed by volcanic eruptions over millions of years, they are located a very remote 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. These islands remain shockingly unspoilt and are where Charles Darwin invented the theory of evolution after studying the islands' many different species of Finches. Thus, the islands remain of high scientific importance. e fact they are located so far from the coast and weren't inhabited by humans until 150 years ago, has helped the hundreds of species of animals develop over 1000's of years without the slightest fear of human beings.This fearless wildlife is unmistakably one of the biggest reasons to visit as truly no where else on the planet will one encounter animals in their original, natural, wild habitat that are absolutely not bothered in the least by the presence of humans. In fact, in the case of land iguana, you have to be careful not to step on them because many just refuse to move!The species found on Galapagos are often endemic, meaning they cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Some of these include land tortoises, the Galapagos Penguin (the 2nd smallest in the world), land and marine iguanas, Darwin Finches, the famous Blue-footed Booby and it's cousin the Red-footed Booby.harks (Galapagos shark, white tipped shark and the extremely rare and fascinating Hammerhead, among others). For birds, a small sample include Frigates and its similar cousin the Cormorant, Flamingos, Pelicans, the enormous Albatross. The water is of course crystal clear and the snorkeling and diving there is among the best in the world (ask any expert!).
