    We can arrange transfers, I just need to request the price form our local team. We can also arrange a pre or post tour additional night - which would you prefer?

    Here's a packing list in paragraph form for the Ecuador & Galapagos Islands Explorer (7 days) tour. It's designed for warm, tropical island conditions with some light hiking and boat excursions.
    
    You'll want lightweight, quick-dry clothing such as T-shirts and shorts, plus a couple of long-sleeved sun/UV shirts for protection. Bring a light sweater or jacket for cooler mornings and evenings, and a waterproof or lightweight rain jacket for sudden showers. Swimwear is essential (it's a good idea to pack more than one set), and casual evening clothes for dinners or walking around town. Comfortable walking shoes are important for uneven terrain, and water shoes or sturdy sandals are useful for wet landings and beaches.
    
    For sun protection, pack high-SPF reef-safe sunscreen, a broad-brimmed hat or cap, and sunglasses. You'll also want a small daypack for daily excursions, a reusable water bottle, a quick-dry towel, and a dry bag to keep belongings dry during boat trips. Binoculars are helpful for wildlife spotting.
    Bring your camera with extra batteries and memory cards, plus chargers and a travel adapter (Ecuador uses US-style plugs). For toiletries and health, pack your usual items, prescription medications, and a small first-aid kit. If you're prone to motion sickness, consider seasickness remedies.
    
    Travel essentials include your passport (valid for at least six months), photocopies of documents, travel insurance details, and some US dollars in cash since ATMs can be limited on the islands.

  What is the hotel you would be staying at the first night? I'm flying in the day before and would like to stay at the same hotel.

  We were wondering if you could give us a sample of the hotels that you would be using and if this is a definite departure date.

    We typically use well-located, comfortable 3 to 4 star properties in Quito such as Hotel La Cartuja or Ikala Quito Hotel. In the Galapagos, accommodation is in clean, simple tourist class hotels on Santa Cruz and Isabela. Exact hotels can vary slightly depending on availability closer to the date, but standards remain consistent.
