Lava tunnel - The lava tunnels is a natural formation site that can be easily observed, the structure it has is unique. His tour was entertaining and good. As a recommendation it is good to go with boots in case the road past 100 m is muddy from the rains

Enjoyed every minute! - Wonderful experience! Our guide, Julio, was amazing! Two in our group fell ill for a couple days, and the operator allowed us to reschedule the morning of the tour which was greatly appreciated by all.

Both the turtles and the lava tunnels are amazing - We met Julio at the meeting point. He was already on his bike and we went together to the bike rental to get ours. The bikes were put in a pickup truck and we were driven inland (up hill). After 10 minutes we started our bike trip, which was mostly downhill and very enjoyable. We arrived in the Turtle park and got a lot of background from the owner Cesar. He knows everything about these fascinating creatures. But also about all the plants and trees we encountered during our trail through the woods. Rubber boots were provided: very necessary. After the trail we entered the Lava Tunnel. This is truely an amazing experience. With flash lights we went in deeper and deeper. Wow! After the return form the lava tunnels we took the trail back and were treated with fresh fruit juice that Julio prepared. We left a tip for the turtle resort and drove our bikes back into town. Mostly downhill and very enjoyable. There were many turtles along the route! Overall this tour is highly recommended. The combination of light activity and learning about Turtles is great. The lava tunnels are not to be missed. Julio was a great guide and super friendly. Always smiling and enjoying the bike tour too. He made some photos of us as on the way as well. Go do this tour!

Personalized experience - Julio and César were awesome. Treatment is personalized and the place is great to appreciate the turtles and different birds. Walk through the lava tunnels is quite interesting. Bike option with lunch was a great enjoyable choice for me.

Bike ride and tortoise reserve with lava tunnel walk - This was a good combination of a bike ride with a visit to the tortoise reserve. We were driven to a closer location to the reserve before we began our ride. When we arrived we listened to a talk about the history of the place then went for a walk to the lava tunnels. After this we had a refreshing blackberry drink before riding all the way back to the bike shop.

Fun ride & walk - Great trip. The host was great and friendly. The walk was a bit long, but the lava cave was cool. Lovely trip. I do recommend.

Disappointing but interesting - Disappointing- limited English with the bike guide. Cycled 4 blocks on not great bikes and waited for a taxi to pick us up then drop us off to cycle to Galapagos Frontier - a nature reserve to see the giant tortoises. We were given water and a snack and waited for others to join us. We were given a guided tour of the reserve where we saw many many giant tortoises. Then we were taken through the reserve and saw many more! Then we went to the Lava tunnels, ok but there is a limit to how many things you can look at that all look the same. The ‘experience’ was over 2 hours and we walked our 10000 steps! Then cycled back with the guide who was clearly miffed because I had commented it took too long! He cycled us through red cycle lights and cycled way ahead of us with little consideration for us. I’m disappointed as have used Viator in the past with great success. Credit to Caesar who owns the reserve, he is passionate about the place and very informative about the flora and fauna. Everything had to be translated through two great German lads. They need to be aware of timings and consider the audience!
