We absolutely loved our trip to see the giant tortoises. They’re such amazing creatures. We would recommend taking fruit if you want to feed them - you can’t get food there and they’re trying to protect the plants so don’t take branches off the plants. We didn’t want to do an organised tour so got dropped off by Sagittarius boats (they have a Facebook) - it was reasonable and only took about 15 minutes. It was a simple little boat but much cheaper than the tours and they let us choose how long we wanted to spend (we did 2.5 hours) and it was exactly what we needed. We then went on the walk across the island to the Scott’s house. This was hot and uneven ground so we’d recommend trainers, hats and water. The beach at the end was really beautiful not much shade. There were Toilets on both sides but not nicest facilities. …

This is an interesting island that we visited on a small boutique cruise (Crystal Espirit). The beach is an easy place to arrive to the island from. You can see a lot of fish around but I would not call it an outstanding quality beach to visit. The main attraction is are the turtles and the hike. The first hike can take you around about half the island with not much elevation change. There is a wooden bridge that goes for quite a while because you are going over mangroves and high tide will cover the ground. The second hike is much more strenuous. It is about 30 minutes up and over the mountain with a significant elevation change. It is up hill the entire way to the top. Once you go down the other side, you will be rewarded with an incredible beach that will be virtually empty. Bring some towels and your camera and hang out for half a day. The waves can get big but the nice thing is that there is lots of shade and a nice breeze. There is also a freshwater stream coming down and into the ocean. This island is good for a full day but probably not much more because there are much better beaches around if that is what you are looking for.…

This is the main stopping point of our island hopping trip. I'm pleasantly surprised to find out and to enjoy the trail on this island. It is nice and offers variety of plants and scenery. You will see so many giant tortoises wondering on the road. They are probably so used to people that they don't shy away the sight of tourists. The BBQ lunch comes in just the right time after snorkeling and trail walking. The beach is nice and pretty as well.…

Nice little island with a lot of giant turtles strolling around you. There is also a nursery shack with baby turtles. You should take the small path through the mangrove forest to see many types of crabs, mangrove trees, coconuts, and if high tide you might see small lemon sharks. At the end of the path there is a beautiful beach, the Doctor’s house, a small museum is located at the end of the beach.…
