The Giant Tortoise Experience with Galapagos Outdoors was one of the highlights of our trip! Walking among these ancient creatures in their natural highland habitat was truly awe-inspiring. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the tortoises’ behavior, history, and conservation. The scenery was just as impressive—lush, green landscapes with misty forests and volcanic craters. Everything was well organized, from the comfortable transportation to the timing of the stops. It felt intimate, authentic, and deeply connected to the spirit of the islands. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a meaningful, up-close wildlife encounter in the Galápagos.

The service provided by Galapagos Outdoors was absolutely phenomenal. They took care of everything for us, from picking us up at the airport and getting us to our hotels that were already booked by them. Each day, they would pick us up at the airport and get us to our excursions, which were action-packed, educational, and extremely adventurous. I can't recommend them enough.

I had an amazing trip with Galapagos Outdoors in November! I went solo and felt super safe and taken care of from the moment I got picked up at the airport. The Galapagos Giant Tortoise experience and Las Grietas were definite highlights. My guide, Andrés, was awesome — his stories and knowledge made everything way more interesting. Totally worth it, and I’ll for sure book with them again next time I’m back!
