Most of the islands that compose the Galapagos archipelago are left in their natural condition and are home to endemic species. Today, you are going to visit one of those uninhabited islands. The island visited depends on park permits and the boat’s schedule. It will either be North Seymour, South Plazas, Bartolomé, or Santa Fé (we will try to consider your preferences when booking the limited spaces). Every island impresses with different landscapes and a unique flora and fauna. On Santa Fé island for example, you will find the endemic Santa Fé Iguana, whereas North Seymour is famous for its big colony of blue-footed boobies and sea lions. Lunch is served aboard, and after the land excursion guests usually have the opportunity to snorkel at a close-by beach. The underwater world of Galapagos is an unforgettable experience, so snorkeling should not be missing! Overnight at your accommodation
