Travel Tips
I have been to the Galapagos Islands and it was amazing. It definitely is for the nature lover. All the animals let you get right next to them and they are not scared of you. It truly is amazing.

As far as pricing the best and cheapest way to go if you have a bit extra time is to fly into Quito Ecuador and spend a couple of days looking for a boat that is just about to leave and get the last minute discount. They are trying to fill the boats and they will discount up to 50%. I paid about $700 for a last minute trip but this was about 5 years ago. Once you get your trip you then need to fly to the Galapagos and you can only do this from Ecuador so get a flight and pay the National Park entrance fee of about $100 or $150, I don't remember the exact price.

It sounds like a lot of money but is really is worth it. Source(s): For more information visit http://www.govisitgalapagos.com...
