    Asked on November 15th, 2025

    Are we able to see costs for that time frame

    Price / Availability
    • Via Natura PeruOperator•Written November 2025

      I can confirm that for September/October 2026 our rate per person is at $3,690 per guest

  • T

    Tiffany

    Asked on June 10th, 2025

    What time does the boat return on day 10 of the sailing cruise? Would we have time to get to the airport for a 1:30pm flight out and leave the Galapagos a day early? Would we get a cheaper rate as not requiring the extra night at Puerto Ayora?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Via Natura PeruOperator•Written June 2025

      It is not possible to catch a 1:30 pm flight on the same day as the cruise disembarkation. The tour on the boat typically concludes around 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm, although this time may vary slightly. Considering the transfer from the port to the airport takes approximately 45 minutes, there would not be sufficient time to comfortably make the flight. Attempting this would be very risky. Therefore, an additional overnight stay is necessary before your departure flight.

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      I worry about altitude sickness. Can the tour guide help manage that?

    • Via Natura PeruOperator•Written March 2025

      No, you can only hike to Machu Picchu by hiking.

    • Via Natura PeruOperator•Written March 2025

      You will have a whole day to acclimatize, you can take altitude pills and rest. This way you can avoid having a bad time due to altitude and it has not been an issue for our travelers, however, every body reacts differently.

    • K

      Kylie

      Glenn

      Traveler•Written September 2024

      I am interested in Tour 83390. My dates are flexible. I can start on Dec. 18, 19, 20, 21. I do not understand that there are 3 days which say a flight is "booked on your own." Day 3 Lima to Cusco, Day 7 Cusco airport to Lima and connect to Guayaquil, Day 8 Guayaquil airport flight to Baltra airport in Galapogos Islands. How much do all of these flights cost? Why doesn't the tour company do this service, because booking flights in foreign countries is very difficult. I do not understand. Also, I am traveling solo. I want to book a room and have an assigned roommate. Is this possible?

    • Via Natura PeruOperator•Written September 2024

      For this tour, we are not able to book flights. We recommend our passengers to book the flights through Expedia. Also, it is not possible to assign a roommate, the single supplement is mandatory.
