Know before you book

  • Not recommended for travellers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Not recommended for travellers with spinal injuries
  • Public transport options are available nearby
  • Travellers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • It is recommended to book flights with an early arrival time to the Galapagos Islands and a late departure time from the Galapagos Islands to make sure you can enjoy all of the activities of the tour. Late arrivals and/or early departures mean you might miss some activities.
  • If your flight is delayed or cancelled and you cannot make it to Puerto Ayora in time to take the last speedboat to Isabela Island, which departs around 02:00 PM, the team assist you with finding accommodation on Santa Cruz Island but this will be on your own expense. You will miss the planned activities.
  • There are no guides on the transport by public speedboat between islands.
  • Try to only bring small baggage/bags since public transport on the Galapagos Islands is quite small.
  • It is important that you will have current travel insurance including personal medical insurance. Please inform us of any known medical conditions you have.
  • Tap water on the Galapagos Islands might contain bacteria and should not be consumed, not even for brushing your teeth. Bottled or purified water is always recommended.
  • Inform yourself about food safety when travelling to tropical countries. Take the necessary precaution to avoid food poisoning (always wash your hands before eating, don’t eat ‘street food’, only eat peeled fruits, etc.).
  • It is possible that pictures will be taken during your tour, so it is recommended to bring a USB.
  • The operator reserves the right to change the itinerary without previous notice due to weather, National Park regulations or notifications and unforeseeable circumstances.
  • In order to process your reservation please help us with all this information: return flights from and to Galapagos, room type (twin, matrimonial or triple), Whatsapp phone number (in case you use it).
  • For all guests we need: passport numbers, date of birth, nationality, food restrictions, medical restrictions
  • The exact amount for the fees mentioned in the 'What's excluded' section will be detailed in the voucher. If you want to know this information beforehand, please contact us through the platform.
