Playa Inn – Santiago Island
Playa Inn is a beautiful beach of fine sand, nesting and resting place for Galapagos penguins, blue-footed boobies, seagulls and sea turtles. On the rocky coast of Cerro Inn and nearby reefs, we will snorkel for the first time, and be able to observe feeding penguins, sea turtles and corals in the process of recovery.
Roca Felipe

NORTH SEYMOUR & MORQUERA ISLET
Enjoy a picturesque coastal gentle treking to explore the island by land, witnessing the mating dance of the Blue Footed Boobies which is one of the highlights of the experience. The surrounding seas are richer in nutrients tan many other regions of the archipelago, so it’s a top spot for snorkeling, with frequent shark sightings.
Unusually for the Galapagos islands
North Seymour island is not a volcano. Instead the island was formed by the tectonic uplift of seismically shifting plates underneath the ocean. Imagine the flat sea bed being pushed upwards and emerging above the sea. Even today visitors can see evidence of shells and large rocks that used to be underneath the ocean.
Get ready to meet different species:
Hundreds of sharks such as the Tiger Shark, Galapagos Shark, Reef Shark swiming by the shore of this island. Frigate birds and blue footed boobies. Array of colorful reef fish such as King Angelfish, Parrotfish, Hogfish and Rays Might even spot Hammerhead or Tiger sharks cruising through.
