Today begins your Galapagos Islands tour. We recommend you to book your flights with early arrival times to the islands, so you can enjoy all the activities.
Option 1: Itinerary for flights arriving to Baltra before 12:00 PM
Once at the Baltra airport, a guide will take you to Puerto Ayora to enjoy a delicious lunch. At 15:00 PM you will head to Isabela Island, here you will visit the Flamingo Lagoon, where you will observe a large number of the famous pink flamingos.
Option 2: Itinerary for flights arriving to Baltra after 12:00 PM
If your flight arrives after 12:00 PM, you will stay on Santa Cruz Island the first day because the last speedboat to Isabela Island leaves around 03:00 PM. Please note that you will not be able to have lunch if you arrive after 03:00 PM. The rest of the excursion is usually like this: Day 2: half-day excursion to Bahia and Charles Darwin Station; Day 3: morning speedboat to Isabela, Los Túneles; Day 4: morning speedboat to Santa Cruz and departure transfer.
Meals included: Lunch
Accommodation: Hotel San Vicente or similar
Your day will start early in the morning, after a revitalizing breakfast. You will go by boat to Puerto Villamil.
Your first stop will be Los Tuneles, considered one of the best places for snorkeling because of the great amount of marine life. Departure time to Los Tuneles is between 7:00 AM and 11:30 AM, and depends on availability and National Park regulations. So, depending on the time you go to Los Tuneles, you might have the opportunity to explore Concha Perla on your own, either before or after Los Tuneles, as it is very close to the pier.
Meals included: Breakfast, Snack

You will have to start this day recharged. At 06:00 AM, you will take a public speedboat to Santa Cruz Island, where you will have breakfast.
Your first stop will be the Charles Darwin Research Station. Afterwards, you will enjoy a delicious lunch to continue with the next activity called Bay Tour, an excursion that will allow you to visit the highlights of the surroundings of Puerto Ayora by boat.

Right Know, There isn’t reviews.
Tips are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion but there is an expectation to tip for good service. Your guide will help with advice; however, we suggest the below as a guideline per person:
Guides: USD 10- USD 15 per day
Staff: Drivers and Assistance: USD 3- USD 5 per day
Of course, you are free to tip more or less, and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality – a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.
The tap water in the Galapagos Islands is not always friendly on the stomach for those who haven’t been in Latin America for a while. There is purified water in each of the accommodation which you can use to fill up each morning, so be sure to pack a reusable water bottle or two.
The Galapagos Islands lie directly on the Equator, so you can expect it to be warm for most of the year. However, it’s not always tropical and Caribbean-like: wind and rain are definitely possible at certain times of year. It’s wise to know these weather patterns before planning your trip so you know when to visit and what to expect.
The hottest season is generally from December to April with average temperatures ranging from a low of 70 F to a high of 84 F (22 – 31 C). It’s also the rainy season.
May to November is considered the “cool” season with average temperatures ranging from a low of 68 F to a high of 82 F (19 – 27 C) and frequent overcast skies.
For the Galapagos Islands, is not required any vaccination.
