GALAPAGOS ISLANDS TRAVEL TIPS
COME PREPARED WITH $$$ CASH
The towns in Galapagos are small, with limited access to ATMs, particularly on Isabela Island. Also, some of the smaller local businesses may not accept credit card payments.
So, we recommend to travel to Galapagos with plenty of USD$ cash to cover your daily expenses. Also don’t forget that the $100 Galapagos National Park entry fee (increasing to $200 as of 1st August 2024) can only be paid in CASH when you arrive.
GALAPAGOS LUGGAGE ALLOWANCE
Most Galapagos flights to/from mainland Ecuador allow 1-piece of checked luggage up to 20 kg (44lb), plus 1 carry-on up to 7 kg (15lb).
For intra-island Galapagos travel, flights typically allow just 7kg per person.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL AT THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
The Galapagos Islands eco-system is sensitive to the impact of tourism. So, it’s important to tread lightly as you go, and always respect nature. Leave the islands in their pristine state, so others can also enjoy Galapagos in the future.
Please follow Galapagos National Park travel guidelines:
- Avoid touching or feeding the animals, and do not get too close.
- Food is prohibited on all uninhabited islands.
- Never remove any plant, animal or natural objects from the islands.
- Stay on marked trails, and take care to avoid stepping on nesting sites.
- Always stay together with your group & guide.
- Leave no litter on the islands, or in the sea.
- Resist buying souvenirs made from plant or animal.
