The Galapagos Islands are amazing. Having been isolated from the mainland for centuries endemic creatures nowhere else found in the world started to evolve. Wonderful animals such as the Giant Tortoise are there to watch and enjoy. The bad news: it's very expensive to go to the Galapagos Islands The good news: you can do it on your own and save lots I spent two weeks on the islands, a one week tour on a yacht exploring the Galapagos Islands included. This is how you do it:
Don't hesitate to post your questions. If you have more tips on how to go to the Galapagos Islands by yourself I'd love to hear them. Best wishes, Mark

Hi Mark
I know you posted this a long time ago, but I was hoping you could answer a couple of questions: - How much should I expect to pay for a return flight from Guayaquil to Galapagos? - I've had a quick look on the links you provide, and the price of boats is well over the $50p/day you suggest. Is it really possible to get a boat tour for under $50 p/day? Thank you |

The flight from Guayaquil to the Galapagos Island is about $320 during the low season (May 1 - June 14 | September 15 - October 31) and $360 during the high season (January 1 - April 30 | June 15 - September 14 | November 1 - December 31).
The prices you are referring to are from organized tours offered by our travel service partner. Although very convenient this is not the cheapest way to visit the islands. Shopping for a boat yourself on the main island Puerto Ayora will get you a better price. I payed $50/day for a 1 week trip. I doubt it if you can get lower than $50. Keep me posted! Best wishes, Mark
