Customer Reviews

We were very lucky and had a private tour of the property and lava tunnels - it’s really great. There are dozens of large tortoises 🐢, an array of bird life 🦅, 25 different fruits 🍈, and very knowledgeable guides. The lava tunnels are really really cool - a must do! This tour combined with the Charles Darwin centre would give you a comprehensive view of part of the Galapagos - including seeing both the dome and saddle back tortoises. This is also one of the best priced tours on the island by far. Price combined with experience is exceptional value! Very grateful for Frontier’s hospitality!

Great experience! We biked from puerto ayora to the property and saw dozens of tortoises of different ages. The guide showed us lava tunnels and let us pick fruit off the property. Great way to see tortoises up close.

You will see tons of tortoises and endemic birds! We showed up in time for the scheduled tour and the guide took us everywhere, thank you so much for the amazing visit! Tour ends with a delicious glass of clementine juice, fresh from the farm
