Experience

The Unique Ecosystem

of the Galapagos

Galápagos Frontier is located on Santa Cruz Island in the town of Guayabillos and is the closest reserve to see Giant Tortoises. It encompasses a fascinating forest in the transition zone with a high degree of endemism in plant and bird species. In addition, we offer hiking trails, natural pools, a variety of fruit trees, and thrilling Lava Tunnels.

 

We are proud to provide education and tourism services to both the local community and national and international visitors. We officially opened our doors in early 2023 and are located just 15 minutes from downtown Puerto Ayora. This makes us the ideal natural reserve to witness the Galapagos Giant Tortoises roam freely and explore the mysterious lava tunnels.

 

At Galápagos Frontier, we offer our guests a comprehensive tour to learn about the zoology, herpetology, geology, and botany of the Galapagos Islands. An unforgettable and unique experience that will allow them to discover the natural richness of the region.

 

In addition, our guests can also enjoy cooking classes with local expert chefs and learn to prepare traditional dishes while enjoying the practical experience of cooking outdoors in a reserve of giant tortoises and lava tunnels. A culinary and natural adventure that they won't want to miss!

Testimonials

Galapagos Frontier Trip Advisor

"We absolutely loved our visit to Galapagos Frontier. We were lucky to learn about it from someone else on another tour. Our guide, Cesar, was amazing. We could tell that he is so passionate about the Galapagos ecology and we learned so much about the turtles, birds, plants, and history of the islands! Way better than going to the other turtle reserves and just walking around. We also got to see lava tunnels and it was like being on another planet! At one point we all turned off our lights to experience complete silence and darkness- very cool!! And the mandarin juice was so good. We had such a wonderful time and HIGHLY recommend Galapagos Frontier. And it is the closest to Puerto Ayora, only 15 minutes away!"
