Are you ready to live an unforgettable adventure in the wonderful Galapagos Islands? We invite you to discover the Galapagos Frontier reserve, a natural paradise where you can meet face to face with the legendary giant tortoises and explore the mysterious lava tunnels in their natural state.
Our naturalist guide, with more than 30 years of experience, will take you on a fascinating journey through the endemic forest of the Galapagos. Breathe the fresh air and let yourself be enveloped by the exuberant flora and fauna that surrounds you. At each step, you will witness the unique beauty of endemic species such as owls, canaries and the famous Darwin's finches.
But that is not all. Immerse yourself in an amazing underground world as you enter the lava tunnels. Marvel at the impressive formations of stalactites and stalagmites that have been forged over thousands of years. Discover the geological secrets of the Galapagos Islands as you come across the graceful Tito Alva owl.

4.00It is a primitive experience. The guide Cesar was very informative and even though it was just me on the tour very engaged. It was raining and still enjoyed the experience.

5.00Despite the tour guide English was limited, he was very professional and made a great effort to explain very detailed story about the giant turtles and formation and development of Lava tunnel during the trip. Enjoy seeing over dozen of giant turtles!

5.00Great tour and very knowledgeable staff. The owner Cesar was on site and provided a great tour of his property and showed us some enormous tortoise. The staff was very friendly to our family and the entire place felt very homie. The optional lunch I highly recommend to add to your experience since the food was very good. Highly recommended this tour in between other snorkeling to give a break from the water activities.
Fun adventure

5.00This was such a great experience. Cesar did such a great job. We learned so much about the turtles and we got to see and learn a lot in the cave. I would recommend wearing tennis shoes and higher socks because ants bit me a couple of times. Bring water cause you will need it. He does make fresh passion fruit juice that is delicious.
