silversea orgin - north seymour island, galapagos, ecuador - day 10 - september 15, 2025

This morning we had a nice breakfast followed by a morning hike on North Seymour Island. Our guide, Javier, is very experienced and knowledgeable. We saw Magnificent Frigate Birds, Land Iguanas, Blue Footed Boobies, and Sea Lions. The hiking on the Galapagos Islands is very difficult due to the amount of lava rocks. Your feet become quite sore, even with excellent boots!

At lunch the captain moved the ship to Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island for a view of the Pinnacle rock and some afternoon hiking and snorkeling.
