Absolute rubbish and not worth the US$35 cost (boat and entry fees). 10 minute boat ride each way in a dingy, with about 1hr on the island viewing a few broken down ruins, and turtles kept in disgraceful conditions. My guide spent 90% of the time talking on his phone and still expected a tip at the end. Absolute waste!!

Really disappointed.The island contains only a small area for giant tortoises that arent monitored or well kept.People passing by often sat on the tortoises breaching animal cruelty laws.It was very sad to see and completely after seeing this outrageous view believe they should be sent back to there natural habit.Apart from the tortoise area there wasn’t much to see the museum and bar are well kept but again very small attractions.The prism does not have any correlation with the island and was disappointed.Dont waste your time on this fraud.
