5.00We ended up having private experience. It was fantastic! I highly recommend Andres, it seems that he knows every plant and bird on the island. And of course, all about giant tortoises. We saw probably 50 of them. The tour also included visiting sinkholes and lava tubes and walking through a cloud forest. Great memories!
An amazing experience!

5.00This was an AMAZING tour! It was a very personal experience, just my husband, myself, a driver and Stephanie our guide. We saw "The Twins" and she gave us lots of information as well as information on the animals and the foliage. Then we moved on the the tortoises. The tortoises were spectacular! It was a half day tour which left time for other activities. I would highly recommend this tour.
