    Never did I expect to see huge long neck tortoises that are really old mating. That was a once in a lifetime experience for sure. Well organized with nature guide who took us thru the turtle area and then down into lava tunnels. Very interesting.

    This ticket/excursion is totally unnecessary and I'm shock that its on Viator since I've only had good experiences with the service until now. There is absolutely no wait once arriving at El Chato and guests still had to pay full admission to park. Extremely disappointed.
    This tour in Puerto Ayora is organized by Nature Galapagos & Ecuador
