Wildlife Wonders of North Seymour Island, Galapagos

North Seymour Island offers incredible wildlife viewing year-round; however, the best time to visit is during the dry season from June to November. During these months, the island’s wildlife is particularly active, with frigatebirds displaying their famous red pouches and blue-footed boobies performing their courtship dances. Additionally, the cooler, drier weather makes for a more comfortable exploration of the island’s diverse landscapes.
