I'm hoping to find a Gapagos tour with a single supplement available. My husband and I will be traveling with a single friend. Are there some options you can provide for travel in December 2025? Travel dates are Dec 20 - Jan 4.

We'd love to help you find the perfect Galapagos adventure for your group. Since there are quite a few amazing tours available, the best way to start is by heading to our website or TourRadar and simply typing "Galapagos" in the search bar. This will show you a list of all the available trips, including details like duration, itinerary, and single supplement availability. From there, you can easily filter the options by your travel dates (Dec 20 – Jan 4), trip length, activity level, or style of travel. That way, you'll get a good idea of what's available and what suits your preferences best. Of course, if you'd prefer a little guidance, just let me know: How many days you'd like to spend in the Galapagos, whether you're looking for a land-based trip or a cruise-style experience, and any preferences like wildlife focus, comfort level, or budget range. With that info, I'd be happy to suggest a few great options that fit exactly what you're looking for!

As this is a group trip, you will be travelling with the same group throughout the tour. Your fellow travelers will probably come from all corners of the world and likely a range of age groups too.

How do I handle payment for the park and port fees in the Galapagos Islands?

These fees must be paid in cash upon arrival at the islands.

How can I get to and from the airport in Galapagos Islands on the last day of my trip?

To reach the closest airport on Isla Baltra, take a taxi to the port, a ferry across a small channel, and then a bus to the airport.

What are the additional costs after booking the tour to the Galapagos?

Additional costs include a $100 park fee and a $10 Isabela port fee, plus any personal expenses.

What documents do I need to present on the first day of the tour?

Present your TourRadar confirmation notification on the first day for verification.

How do I obtain a transit card for my trip to the Galapagos Islands?
