Galapagos Islands

Overview

North Seymour is a tiny uninhabited island near Baltra Island and Santa Cruz Island and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Galapagos. Formed as a result of a tectonic uplift, it is famous for being a haven for seabirds, like Frigate Birds, Blue-footed Boobies, swallow-tailed gulls, herons and hawks, and you can see their nesting spots everywhere around the island. It's also a great spot for snorkeling and diving, due to the upwelling phenomenon that attracts a diversity of marine wildlife: various species of sharks, sea lions, rays, marine iguanas and even Galapagos Snake.
