North Seymour Island Facts and Highlights

North Seymour Island is home to a remarkable array of wildlife, including sea lions, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, and land iguanas.
The island is particularly renowned for its birdlife, providing birdwatchers with an incredible opportunity to see rare species in their natural habitat. Marvel at the magnificent frigatebird, blue-footed boobies, and the Galapagos mockingbird, walk amongst nests, observe mating rituals, or catch a glimpse of nestlings and fledglings during hatching seasons.
The land iguanas found in North Seymour are not native to the island. They were moved from Baltra in the early 1930s in order to provide better conditions for their survival and to get them away from the introduced goats species that were destroying the habitat on Baltra and contributing to a dangerous decline in their population. Since then the goat population has been eradicated from protected areas.
North Seymour Island is one of the most important breeding sites for blue-footed boobies in the Galapagos, with visitors able to observe the birds performing their famous courtship dances.
The waters surrounding North Seymour Island are teeming with marine life, including tropical fish, sharks, rays, and sea turtles, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and diving.
The island's rugged terrain provides visitors with an opportunity to explore its many trails, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape and wildlife.
North Seymour was formed by uplifts of submarine lava, rather than volcanic eruptions, along with Baltra and the northeastern part of Santa Cruz, resulting in distinctive flat plateaus. See firsthand the unique geological formations that make the islands so distinctive.
