does this tour allow solo travellers? On the booking page it asks to assign a second traveller to a room (double room) and there is no single room supplement.

Of course, this tour allows solo travelers! This trip was made especially for gay people with a minimum of 2 travelers, but I can arrange the tour for a solo traveler with a single supplement.

  Allison
  Traveler•Written July 2024
  How much would a single room supplement cost? Another question - as I understand the flights from Quito to the island are not included. Will you be providing details on the flight I will need to buy tickets for (to make sure we travel together, as a group)?
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written July 2024
  The total price for this tour including the single supplement is $3 500 USD. The Roundtrip Galapagos flights are included, so you don't have to worry about it.
