Full description

Enjoy a private transfer from Baltra Airport to your hotel in Puerto Ayora. Explore the Itabaca Canal, see giant tortoises at a ranch, and visit the Lava Tunnels and Twin Craters.

Upon your arrival at Baltra Airport, meet your driver who will assist with your luggage. Head to the Itabaca Canal and enjoy a short ferry ride across the calm waters. Once you reach the other side, continue your journey by private vehicle to a scenic ranch located in the highlands.

Observe giant tortoises roaming freely in their natural habitat. After spending time with these gentle giants, explore the fascinating Lava Tunnels, an underground world formed by ancient volcanic activity.

Next, visit the impressive Twin Craters, a pair of massive sinkholes surrounded by lush vegetation. These offer stunning views and a unique insight into the island’s geological history. Throughout these activities, you will be accompanied by a certified naturalist guide who will enrich your experience with their knowledge of the Galápagos’ unique flora and fauna.

Alex was great! He picked us up at the airport and drove us to the two sites. FYI the ranch is mainly Spanish speaking tour guides. We got one that spoke English, but he mainly gave the tour in Spanish.
