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!

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.

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.

A Worthwhile Hike
Do not book this tour on your ferry day. Unfortunately, we had to rush the whole time because of one family who needed to catch the ferry. Pickup starts at 8AM, they shuttled you up the hill and give you a sack lunch for later, and then you start hiking at about 9AM. I don't recommend sitting in the front of the shuttle (there's nothing to hold onto). The hike was amazing, the guide was peppy, and everyone had a good time. Great views, really cool old lava flows that you can walk on, and lots of photo opportunities. I returned to my hotel at about 2PM. I would've liked to have spent an extra hour just walking around and exploring the main attraction, or even 15 minutes, but we got about 2 minutes at the viewpoint. Still, this was one of the main highlights of my Galapagos trip. You'll be hiking for 5 hours, so be in shape. Don't do this hike on your ferry day and selfishly rush everyone else.

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.

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.

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.

Marvelous volcano hike
So I originally booked my tour to do the tunnels with this agency, and Sebastian quickly confirmed and I had asked some questions and decided to book this tour and the the Tintoreras as well, just trusting my guts, as they were so friendly and I really appreciate taking the time to answer questions about other tours.
And so I got to this tour, and you start your day in a very foggy spot, I was so sad as I thought that that's going to be the rest of the hike, just walking in the fog, but Alfredo our superb and charming guide was already explaining that once we start walking it would clear up, as it actually did!
The hike was incredible, it's stranuous but a great full day and the views are simply stunning. Our guide Alfredo was divine! So knowledgeable about so many things and such a lovely persona, I was extremely happy with this tour! And I was one of the only people that had a rain coat and proper long sleeved shirt, as the other agencies didn't tell their passengers to brig them, so choosing to continue and book with Sebastian also ended up being a wise decision. They were very caring and asked how it went afterwards and really the whole day was marvelous.
