Our first stop was to North Seymour Island.  This is where you soon realize the incredible nature of the Galapagos Islands.  The land and aquatic species have absolutely no fear of you.  You are walking next to many species of birds, iguanas and even sea lions - they are indifferent to you.  You can stand and watch them, only feet away.  Nesting, mating - whatever they just go about their lives.   That is the most incredible experience you will have on a trip to the Galapagos.
