Galapagos Up las Grietas
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Cool place to visit. Bring good shoes - no flip flops. You have to go with a guided tour, 10 Dollar per person. There are tours approximately every 45 min. You will see the gorge and you will have 45 min to go swimming there. You have also some nice views on the bay. On your way from the pier you pa...

Las Grietas
Swimming basin
👍👍 As of June 2022, if you are visiting without a tour you have to pay a $10 fee at the entry for a guide. We loved ours! It wasn’t crowded when we got there and we swam for about 45 min. Water was beautiful (and cold).
One interesting thing we discover is that they are building another deck (see pictu...

1835 Restaurant & Coffee
Restaurant
😐 Small portions. Misleading prices. Paid $13 for eggs & juice, left hungry. Breakfast menu says add jugo for total of $11.99 not clear this is only if you get the juice of the day. Comes with “toast”, 3 pieces of small baguette toast, no butter or jam.

Santa Cruz Brewery
Brewpub
👍👍 Great pub with magnificent food and even more awesome beer! Their balconies have one of the best (if not THE best views in Puerto Ayora). The view over the fisherman's bay while relaxing with a glass of their craft beer is an apex of relaxation and chill out. The whole crew is also extremely nice an...

Galapagos Deli

👍👍 Great food in this Puerto Ayora restaurant.
You can’t go wrong dropping into this terrific spot. I’ve had the fish and chips twice, and look forward to their amazing pizzas. Update— had the pizzas — also terrific.
Friendly service here also.
Be sure to have the gelato here also- we keep trying di...

Midori
Sushi restaurant
👍👍 It is recommended to reserve a place in the restaurant in advance. As a first course we took a tuna tartar with avocado - an excellent dish. Another dish we took gyoza pork and shrimp - not everyone liked it. 3 diners ate 5 rolls of sushi. Each Shusi roll includes 10 pieces - the Shusi was delicious...

ISLANDER COFFEE ROASTERS
Coffee shop
👍👍 I think the atmosphere here is great. I thought the coffee was good, didn't try anything else. Lots of places to sit but it's also a pretty busy place so you may have to scout out a place to sit.

Charles Darwin Scientific Station
Laboratory
👍👍 Interesting small museum. Depends on whether you have an informative guide who will make the experience better.
Was disappointed because one guide was allowing a bunch of arrogant tourists to feed the animals. Our guide tried to stop them but they persisted and dismissed him

FRAFRE GASTROBAR
Restaurant
👍 Good restaurant with great dishes. Ordered the Grilled Octopus recommended by the staff, and it did not disappoint. The octopus was slightly charred at the ends of the tentacles, which added some smokiness to the dish. The staff were helpful and friendly. Wanted to order the signature fried fish, bu...

It's a free performance is when the fishermen return with their catches. Stand with the locals- watch the shopping - th...

Almar
Restaurant
👍👍 A romantic and wonderful place to have dinner. You sit directly at the ocean, with a fantastic view. Food is fantastic. But also pricy. For two people you should calculate around 100 us dollar. Anyway, its worth to spend it once.

Eagleray Tours Galapagos Diving
SCUBA tour agency
👍👍 Eagleray Tours is one of the best, most professional tours I've used. It had been awhile since our last dive, and Eagleray made sure we were comfortable with the equipment and gave us a quick, 10 minute refresher before the first dive to make sure we were confident. We told them what we wanted to se...
