About this tour

The tour begins with a transfer to Los Gemelos, large sinkholes surrounded by a Scalesia forest. There, guests take a short walk to possibly observe endemic birds such as Darwin’s finches and the Galápagos owl. Next, the tour continues to the Giant Tortoise Reserve, where a one-and-a-half-hour walk allows visitors to observe these emblematic animals in their natural habitat, along with other endemic bird species. The experience continues with an exploration of the lava tunnels, formations created by ancient eruptions. Finally, guests are transferred back to Puerto Ayora.
