Isla Santa Cruz/Isla Seymour

Las Bachas (Isla Santa Cruz) Highlights:
Located on Isla Santa Cruz, Las Bachas is one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the Galapagos. Behind it are two small ponds that often have flamingos feeding in the shallows. A floating pier, one of the few remnants of the U.S. World War II presence in the Galapagos, can be seen here. It is also one of the largest nesting areas for the Pacific green sea turtle.

Excursion options include a short beach walk to look for flamingos, followed by an optional opportunity to swim, snorkel, or relax on the shore. It is also possible to simply go to the beach to swim, snorkel, and relax. This is a wet landing.

North Seymour Highlights:
North Seymour (Isla Seymour) is a small island just nor th of Baltra. It is home to the largest colony of frigate birds in the Galapagos. While keeping an eye out for male frigates trying to impress potential mates with an inflated red neck pouch, you may also see blue-footed boobies dancing in a timeless courtship ritual. Sea lions and large land iguanas also roam about this rocky terrain.

Excursion options include a guided long, rocky walk, zodiac ride and short easy walk, or simply just a scenic zodiac tour along the coast to view wildlife and the geology of the area. Experienced snorkelers will also have an option to do a deep water snorkel at this site. This is a dry landing.
