Wow! I saw giant tortoises on three different islands, and this is by far the best place I experienced. Although they have the breeding center and some tortoises behind barricades, most of them are...

An absolute joy to see the Giant Tortoises - Galapagos - in their natural habitat, eating & mating, and also see the breeding center. But be prepared to hike uphill.

This was a great place to see all the tortoises of different sizes and ages!! We had a guide who was very informative with us. They honestly look like dinosaurs sometimes. Loved it!

What an incredible experience to see these beautiful tortoises. They were mesmerizing. Some are on the sendero (path) and some are off in the brush. They're more active during the day, so definitely check it out in the morning. We visited on a Sunday around 0930. You get to enjoy them in what would be their natural habitat before they're ready to be off on their own. There is no entrance fee. Bathrooms on site (no toilet paper in the bathrooms, so grab some on your way in behind the handwash station. Visiting this place is a must!

Really enjoyed this center! The hike up to the breeding center was nice and spotting the tortoises in the wild was a lot of fun. And lots of activity from the small tortoises at the breeding center.

Great spot to visit the tortoises on San Cristobal. Great facility, nice walk, and very helpful staff. Well worth the visit to see these amazing creatures!

Really enjoyed this experience. It was very serene and relaxing. The tortoises are a marvel and I would definitely recommend making the short trip to see them.
