Fantastic jungle, tortoise, and tunnel with a knowledgeable and helpful guide. - Beautiful ranch. Giant tortoise abound. Friendly guide, beautiful walk in woods… many mandarin trees all over the ranch. Interesting volcano tunnels. It was a great experience. I totally recommend this tour. And the final glass of juice was so yummy.

Good experience - Caesar clearly knows everything there is to know about the giant tortoises, birds and plant life on the land and was able to tell me a lot that I no idea about. Due to the time of year I was there, we only saw a few few tortoises however they were amazing to see roaming freely. I would recommend wearing trousers and good boots because there is a bit of walking involved through the forest.

Informative 3 hour hike - I went with an open mind. I did learn something new about turtles, different species of plants (endemic and invasive) and about formations located in a cave on the farm. If you choose this tour, I would not pay extra at the Darwin Center. Some information is repetitive. Enjoy your stay in Galapagos!

Giant Turtles and Lava Tunnels - Cool to see the giant turtles up close and personal. Guide was good and we had a good time. Pace was fast so finished a little earlier than expected. Would reccommend

Prep for a walk - Overall, I think the tour was okay, but I would recommend preparing for a walk through the jungle; meaning you should wear long pants, long sleeves and use lots of bug spray.
