This was our first excursion during our stay in Galapagos and so glad we did this! Our guide, El Mira, was super helpful, patient, easy to interact with, took all the pictures and then Air Dropped them to us later. Thank you for a great initial Galapagos experience!
Wonderful morning seeing the giant turtles and lava tunnels. The ride on the electric bike is lovely, you get to see the countryside. Rony is a great guide, very informative and friendly. Loved my morning and am so glad I did this tour. Money well spent.
Great active tour for anyone looking for a good physical outdoor activity. It’s not difficult, beautiful landscape and scenery while you bike to see the Tortoises. The lava tubes are very interesting to see as well
Rony gave a great tour, we saw the amazing giant tortoises, such beautiful creatures. We were well looked after, it was lovely to see bits of the island we wouldn’t have seen if we weren’t on a bike. Hot but really enjoyable!
Riding the e-bikes was a blast. They had the power to go up the numerous hills. Great way to see the countryside. We could stop anywhere anytime we wanted. Bryan our guide was wonderful, very patient and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend. Seeing the giant turtles with our own personal guide.
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Ronnie. He was punctual, personable and very Pleasant to share time with. He went the extra mile to make sure we had an enjoyable time. The e-bikes were powerful and very fun! (With even an hour ride downhill back to town!) Seeing all those Tortoises were the highlight of our trip!
WOW! Rony was an amazing tour guide! But also the sites he took us too and the bike routes were also amazing! Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about this tour and our guide Rony.
This trip takes you on nice electeic mountain bikes through the scenic back roads to the highlands of Santa Cruz to visit a giant tortoise reserve with lava tubes, and another scenic ride with great views back down to town. You can get really close to the tortoises, and learn all about them, before returning to the starting point through the lava tunnels. The bikes are perfect for the conditions, it doesn't have to be strenuous at all if you turn up the power, and it's all just dirt roads and paved paths, nothing too technical. Our guide Rony was awesome! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, we really appreciate it. We whole heartedly recommend this activity for a half day excursion!
We had a fantastic time on the e-bikes with Elmira as our guide. The bikes were in great shape and worked perfectly. Elmira was very knowledgeable and kind. She took a ton of photos with and for us of us on bikes and with the tortoises and sent them to us at the end to add to the ones we took ourselves, and even brought us some snacks! We never felt rushed and had a great experience. I think the e-bike trip is a lot more fun than just sitting in the back of a cab!
This was an amazing experience! My husband and I were in Ecuador for our honeymoon, and this tour was one of our highlights. Rony was very knowledgeable and kind, and he was a great guide. It was just the two of us on the tour, and he went at our pace and took great pictures of us. We were also very impressed by the state of the roads - there were bike paths all over, and when we did have to bike on roads, they were smooth and safe. This was a very fun and different way to discover the landscape!! Highly highly recommend.
