    Asked on March 20th, 2026

    We would like to book this tour in December. But we will be arriving into Guayaquil. Could we commence tour from Galapagos?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2026

      There are selected dates:
      ** Sat, 12 Dec - Sun, 20 Dec
      ** Sat, 19 Dec - Sun, 27 Dec
      ** Mon, 21 Dec - Tue, 29 Dec

      This is an 18-30 something tour style. This is a accommodation style of simple hotels (8 nts). You may be sharing accommodation with other travelers of the same sex. A single supplement is available for this tour on request and depends on availability.

    • B

      Brian

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      I didn't check the age group. We are a family of 3 and would like to arrange 6-7 day tour to 3 islands from Galapagos, approximately from the 27th December. Can you please let me know.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2026

      Please can you advise the age of the child in the family, so that we can best determine which tour type will be suitable for you.

      Brian

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      We are 3 adults

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2026

      The only option that would be suitable that starts in the Galapagos Islands is our Galapagos Island Hopping tour. This departs on 28th December - 05 January, starting and ending in Puerto Ayora. Would this be suitable?

  • K

    Katie

    Asked on February 19th, 2026

    Can you upgrade from the hostel accommodation at the end of the trip - do you alternatively have any 4/5 night cruises around this time in September? I work for a tour operator - do you offer any concessionary trade rates?

    Accommodation
    Operator
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2026

      As this tour is part of our 18-to-thirtysomethings travel style most of the accommodation would be hostels or simple hotels which cannot be upgraded when booking. All upgraded would need to be looked into during the tour and they cannot be guaranteed. Our shortest Galápagos cruise tours is 7 days, we do not have cruises that run for 4 or 5 nights only.

  • K

    Kenneth

    Asked on January 21st, 2026

    Do you offer gluten free meals?

    Meals
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      Galapagos has some limitations, so this will be managed by the CEO locally as well with what is available. It is advised that you bring along some of your own snacks just as a back up

    • K

      Kenneth

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      What foods are normally offered for breakfast?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      The general food served for breakfast is:
      - Juice, Yogurt, Milk, Coffee, Soy or Almond Milk, Powdered milk, tea
      - Granola, Fruits, Oats
      - Egss (different kind every day scramble, fry, steamed, etc)

    Ben

    Asked on January 14th, 2026

    Are age 13 and 16 allowed on this trip? Or do you have another option. That they will be able??

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      This trip has an age limit of 18-39 years old so they would not be able to join this trip. You can look at some of our other tours. You can find the age requirements at the bottom right of the page under "ages".

  • T

    Tyler

    Asked on December 24th, 2025

    Is it safe to book a Galapagos Adventure tour if we have age restrictions?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten December 2025

      Our Galapagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions tour is from our 18-30 Somethings travel style where the required traveller age must be 18-39 years old. However, we have a similar tour called Upgraded Land Galapagos from our Classic travel style available May 17th-26th that might work for you.

  • T

    Tiffany

    Asked on October 16th, 2025

    Can you please advise how many snorkeling tours we do, if there's an option for diving and what pre and post tours you offer from quito

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2025

      You have two included snorkelling experiences on this trip plus free time where you can opt to snorkel again or simply relax on the beautiful beaches. Any diving must be booked separately yourself.

    • T

      Tiffany

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      Okay, so it's only two scheduled ones. I have another one for 7 days that costs $1600 per person, so I will likely take that one.

    Claudia

    Asked on October 13th, 2025

    i don't mind being active, things like hiking the volcano etc are ok for me, i'd rather do a land based trip than be living on a boat, especially as a solo traveller. I am very interested in wildlife, especially as Galapagos has a number of unique animals to see. I'd like to see a few different islands if possible, also learn a little about local culture etc.

      Things to consider: How active you want to be? Are you aged between 18-39? What wildlife are you interested in seeing? What style of accommodation would you be happy with? How long do you have the visit?

    Asked on June 15th, 2025

    Are the domestic flights included in fee for this trip?

    Flights / Transfers
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, the flight from Quito to Santa Cruz and then the flight from San Cristobal to Quito is included.

  • L

    Leslie

    Asked on May 20th, 2025

    Wondering if we're able to participate in this tour. We really enjoy snorkeling and this seems like a good fit. What's the physical activity level? We don't particularly enjoy hiking if the climb is steep, but are there alternate activites we could do if a hike is too strenuous?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2025

      This tour is part of our 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel style, and you must be within the age range of 18-39. We offer many different other tours to the Galapagos that are for all age ranges.
