Visit one of the ranches of the area where it is possible to see giant tortoises in their natural habitat.

Then head for the M/Y Passion for lunch and to freshen up to then head back to Puerto Ayora for your second visit of the day, the Fausto Llerena Tortoise Breeding Center. Here, see tortoises from different islands. The animals are found in large semi-natural pens for their protection, but also to ensure an easy view for visitors.

Afterward, head back to Puerto Ayora, where you will have some time to explore the town and shops by yourselves (this is the only chance to shop during this itinerary) before boarding the M/Y Passion at around 5:00 p.m.
