With us you win a day as you visit these attractions upon arrival.

I would not recommend this tour operator because we did not complete one of the activities (visting the Tunel de Lava Bellavista) , as per the tour itinerary. I contacted the tour operator repeatedly after the trip, both via email and WhatsApp, but to no avail.

Great tour. Our guide Jefferson was informative, patient, and accommodating to our family needs. There is no shortage of tortoises to be seen at the ranch. And the food at the ranch was outstanding as well.

Jefferson did such a great job picking us up at the airport on time, helping us with bags, navigating the trip directly to our hotel. Along the way he told us facts about the islands, made an extra stop at a sinkhole, took us to the turtle preserve and made us laugh putting on the turtle shell. He also guided us through the lava tunnels. We had a great time! Recommend booking this tour
