The boat’s tour operator reserves the right to modify the itinerary without prior notice due to weather conditions, Galápagos National Park regulations, or exceptional events. To avoid any connection issues, we recommend planning a buffer day between your international flight and your flight to the Galápagos, both on arrival and return.

The Galápagos National Park assigns itineraries and visiting days to each vessel. By being flexible with your travel dates, you will have access to a greater number of cruises.

By Park regulation, flights to and from the Galápagos are scheduled only in the morning. You should consider that during a cruise you effectively lose a little more than a day due to airport procedures, flight duration, and time differences.

Each vessel organizes its logistics with a specific airline. The airlines used are AVIANCA or LATAM. Boats generally require the purchase of round-trip Galápagos tickets in order not to complicate logistics. Flight prices vary according to agreements between the vessels and the airlines.

If clients purchase their own Galápagos tickets, be aware that some boats refuse to sell the cruise, others impose a penalty (varying by vessel) and waive all responsibility in case of delays, and a few allow free ticket purchase.

Since operators have priority over flight space, we will take care of booking and purchasing the plane tickets to the Galápagos to avoid any logistical problems. You simply need to tell us your preferred flight route.
