Would you like to see the giant Galapagos tortoises in their natural habitat? If your answer is yes, and you like adventures, this tour is for you. We encourage you to come and discover the Galapagos Frontier reserve by bike, where you will be received by a naturalist guide with more than 30 years of experience who will take you to discover the endemic forest of Galapagos. We'll meet at the dock to choose the bikes. We will take them on the bus and descend to the reserve, where we will have coffee and juice before the tour. On the way we will pass through the forest of the transition zone, where we will be able to observe giant tortoises. We will be able to see various species of endemic birds such as cucube or Darwin's finch among many others. Then we will see two lava tunnels, with recent formations of stalactites and stalagmites, where we will learn about the formation of the Galapagos Islands and, with luck, we will be able to see the Barn Owl. We will finish the tour by bicycle, in the Laguna de las Ninfas.
