Premium yacht tour to North Seymour Island

Breakfast at your hotel, and then we pick you up to take the comfortable yacht that will take us to the incredible island of North Seymour. This uninhabited island is one of our favorites for animal lovers. Here you will see a large colony of Blue-footed boobies and the extremely photogenic Great Frigate birds. Also, look out for swallow-tailed gulls, marine iguanas, land iguanas, sea lions, and more.

North Seymour is particularly famous for its elegant Frigate birds that, during mating season, reward us with the vision (and photographs) of males inflating their guttural pouch into an enormous scarlet-red balloon to attract the females.

After a delicious lunch onboard the yacht, we head to Bachas Beach, a beautiful white coralline expanse. This is the perfect place for practicing snorkeling, swimming, or simply enjoying the white soft sand. Several brackish lagoons only a few steps away from the sea provide feeding grounds for various wading birds, from stilts to flamingos.

Overnight at your Hotel.
