- MHMARTIN· November 9th, 2023I’m writing more of an account than a review, so you can decide whether this tour is for you. May suit some people, others maybe not. Day 1 No lunch provided on the first day, had to buy my own. Glad I did as it was the best meal of the tour. Things were disorganised in terms of instructions of travel, felt like I was lost at times, not knowing where to be when. Communication could have been much better. From travelling to the mainland to Isabella will take you all day, so don’t plan on any activities on the first day. Accommodation in Isabella was basic (I would say 2 star), but clean. 2nd day Again communication not great - I later learned that the operator sub contracts all the tours you go on to other operators. This meant having different operators for different activities on the same day. Morning tour was 2 hours in length to see the tortoise reserve and flamingo lagoon. Lunch was ok, but the guide did not seem that enthusiastic. Afternoon tour was three hours to Los Tunnels. A very good tour. The guide was knowledgable, enthusiastic and very passionate. Only a main course for dinner in the evening. Day 3 Early start 5:15 am pick up, so no breakfast at the hotel. Boat at 6am. Accommodation was very nice (would say 3 star), staff welcoming and very friendly. They gave me breakfast when they heard I could not get any that morning at the previous nights hotel. Only one activity for the afternoon - visit to the Charles Darwin research station (50 minutes). Day 4 Morning activity Tortuga Bay (3 hours). I wouldn’t say the trip was guided, just walked you there and you were left to your own devices. Afternoon activity tunnels, tortoise ranch and sinkholes (2hrs 45 mins). An ok trip, though the coach transportation was very old, uncomfortable and no air conditioning. Day 5 Picked up 4 hours early for my flight, so waiting around a lot at the airport. Conclusion Seemed very expensive for only 11.5 hours of activities. I think if you planned ahead, you could book your own accommodation, tours and travel to make more of the 5 days at half the price. As I said, this may suit some and not others.Show moreTrip date: October 2023

- LMLaurent· September 11th, 2019In overall it was a nice and instructive tour! However just a few tourguides sometimes lacked a bit of motivation. The tour is definitely recommended for those people who love the pure nature and animals. The accomodation was very nice and the tour was very well planned and organized!Show moreTrip date: August 2019
- HGHECTOR· February 25th, 2019Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishVery good tour. The attention was very personalized and allowed me to know more things. I only wish I could have gone to the tunnels tour instead of the dry cleaners, otherwise, everything was excellent.Show moreTrip date: February 2019

Traveler•Written March 2024I wanted to know what time the tours run on each day. And, I wanted to know if you could schedule an additional snorkeling tour for 2 on Los Tuneles for Thursday since we don't have to leave for the airport until Friday morning. We would need to rent wetsuits and snorkeling gear so need to know how much that costs.
