How much does it cost to travel/ fly from Ecuador to the islands

The approximate cost for the air fair between Mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos will be between $450 and $600 USD per person. I will strongly recommend you to book flights directly with LATAM or AVIANCA web page in the Premium Economy or XL rates.

Coming from our fantastic Galapagos Trip and want to give you some Feedback. Transfers at day one were perfect and all the Guides did a good job. Day 2, the Flamingo Lagoon was not a good choice. We saw a dirty water lake with 2 Flamingos in it. The los Tuneles Snorkling Tour at day 2 was amazing. The Guide was fantastic and shows us a lot. Special service without a fee were the underwater pictures. Great! Day 3 - Transfer from Isabella to Santa Cruz was horrible. The boat was overcrowded and we get totally wet. 2,5 hours terrible boat trip. Charles Darwin Tour was fantastic and the guide Caesar amazing. He knows so much about Galapagos, because he is a native, and taught us a lot. Great guy! Boots Tour in the afternoon was a cheekiness. The guide was unfriendly and lazy. He only said „Get out your Cell Phones and make a Foto“. No explanations, nothing. Lot‘s of senseless waiting, because he didn't have the group under control. We would recommend not to book him again. Day 4 Pinzon Fishing Tour made us speechless. Best finish on this trip. The guide was amazing as well as the boat crew. Day 5 Transfers to the airport were perfectly arranged. Also to note: Would be helpful to ask about food allergies at the beginning of the trip!Show more

We had a wonderful time in the Galapagos! The snorkeling and hiking were amazing. The people were very nice and everyone tried to be helpful. Unfortunately the organization of the tour wasn’t great - no one greeted us at the airport when we arrived (once we called someone came ) . And even though I sent my air travel way in advance I was told conflicting info about when we needed to return to the airport — so I had to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what to do on the least two days of our trip. Since there is virtually no internet on Isabela that was stressful.Show more

The tour was very good and met the expectations. Some points, however, can be improved: 1. when moving from Isabela to Santa Cruz, the coffee break should be offered upon arrival in Santa Cruz, as the one offered by the hostel in Isabela was insufficient; 2. the tour to the flamingos lagoon could have been done together with the visitation to the research center in the morning, due their proximity; 3. the guide service on the tour (snorkeling) near Puerto Ayora was not good. It seems that she was more interested in taking her own photos with the turtles than to give support to the tourists.Show more

Action-packed tour that covers a a lot of must-see spots in the Galapagos in a short time! Two nights on Isabela, two nights on Santa Cruz and three snorkeling adventures offered a great overview of the islands and the diverse nature and wildlife. A few details needed some work (was placed in a different hotel than what was on my itinerary, and then moved)-- but overall a good value for all the services provided and always in good hands with guides available at every step.Show more
