Ann_P, Feb 2026

Spectacular!

Spectacular! Stunning hike to Sierra Negra crater and then on to volcano Chico. If you love a beautiful landscape then this hike is a must. Best trip so far in the Galapagos!

Galapagos Hiking excursion to Sierra Negra Volcano & Lava Fields

Subroto_C, Dec 2025

Great hike, return can be strenuous if it is a hot day

Generally a very good tour. We got to explore some unique landscape. The last part of the hike on solidified lava is bit strenuous even though it is not very long. The part you should be aware of is the climb back up from the lava vent is during mid day and if the sun is up in the sky it can be absolutely exhausting. Even though we hike a bit we felt a little unprepared for the heat.

Beth_S, Mar 2026

Beautiful!!

The hike will be tough with the heat, but absolutely worth it! The views are incredible and we loved the information shared by our guide along the way. The guides do a good job of keeping space between groups while allowing more time to those who need it. Bring plenty of water and a couple snacks. We were lucky to have cloud cover most of the trail, but packed umbrellas in case we would need some shade. We liked that our group chose to eat our packed lunch after the tough inclined and before the mostly downhill return to close the tour.

Good hike!

Great moderate hike. The hardest part was the muddy conditions at beginning of hike with a bit of cold. Tour guide was excellent. Communication regarding meetup point and time was poor--we were told to be there 45 minutes prior to pickup time.

Keith_A, May 2024

Good steady walk up the Sierra Nagar volcano.

Yes it's a good 17km walk yet it's very pleasant. The guide we had split his talk updates into English for the English part of the group and Spanish for the other part. He was very good and gave a good talk about the volcano and it's history and also the island and it's creatures. They provided a small snack of a drink, fruit biscuit and a cheese roll. All very edible. The hotel pickup was spot on time and was in a open bus with the other tour guests. Overall out at 07.00 and back at 13.30.

Alice_d, Feb 2024

Must See On Isabela

Amazing to explore the lava fields of the 2028 eruption and learn more about the history of Isabela. Take sturdy, waterproof shoes and light layers to cover up against both sun and rain as the weather turns fast up on the lava fields. Incredible views and geology from the top. This was a ~15km hike, not an easy walking tour so take plenty of water and snacks. Nice small lunch is provided but you may want a little more, especially if like us you have slower walkers that result in longer out and about.
