    Asked on November 11th, 2025

    Can you please let me know the baggage limit for the flights within Galapagos? I see on the website it only states 8 kilograms - what if my bag is a carry on but weighs more than that?

      Can you tell me if I can purchase my own airline tickets to Galapagos from Quito or do I need to purchase them through you as part of the package?

However, please wait until we confirm your final itinerary before buying them to avoid any possible issues or schedule conflicts.
