North Seymour sits right beside the main airport island of Baltra, which makes it an easy add-on at either end of a cruise, without any sense of it being an afterthought. The walking is flat and easy, and the birdlife is dense and confiding.
Both great and magnificent frigatebirds nest here in numbers, the males inflating extraordinary red throat pouches to attract a mate.
A dense nesting colony right beside the trail, with their comic, high-stepping courtship dance often on show.
A resident colony hauls out along the rocky shoreline, an easy, reliable sighting even on a short visit.
Quito's old town, then four fast-paced days among the islands.
A week at sea, then volcanoes and rainforest on mainland Costa Rica.
North Seymour sits right beside Baltra, too small to show separately at this scale, so the map highlights Baltra as its nearest neighbour.
