How do you get from Quito, Ecuador to the Galapagos Islands? |
Travel Info I'm planning a trip to Quito and I was thinking of taking a day or two to see the Galapagos Islands. How would I get from Quito to Galapagos (boat or plane)? Also, how much does it cost to fly round trip or take a boat round trip? Thanks!!! Travel Tips You most definitely don't want to try and take a boat to the Galapagos- they are far enough out that it would be a multiple-day trip. The flight from Guayaquil is less than 2hrs, as I recall- and I know there are flights from Quito as well. Check ecuadorian airline companies for current rates. If you only have a day or two I wouldn't recommend spending the money to fly out to the Galapagos. Maybe take that time to travel to Otavalo, Banos and other areas around Quito- or head south to Cuenca, Loja and Vilcabamba. Because of the way the park is set up you have to visit the Islands with a guided group. The Galapagos are much better saved for a time when you can spend at least 4 or 5 days. In addition to airline fares and guide fees count on a $100.00 entrance fee to the park. Source(s): Been there, done that. Other Travel Tips |
