These two islands are spectacular places with unique characteristics. North Seymour is a flat and small island full of wildlife, such as frigates that nest all year around, blue-footed boobies, seagulls, marine and land iguanas, and a big colony of sea lions. In contrast, Rabida is an older secondary volcano and well known for having the most beautiful red sand beach where sea lions rest. It also has a small brackish lagoon with flamingoes, pintails, and other migratory birds.
We had a wonderful experience exploring these two spots, by land and by sea - going for walks, snorkeling, Zodiac riding, and kayaking. Our tools of exploration were at the ready to facilitate our adventures.
