The Best Attractions In Puerto Ayora

First Impression of Galapagos... One of the TOP Places On Our Bucket List!

See how to travel from Guayaquil, Ecuador to #PuertoAyora on Isla Santa Cruz, #Galapagos Islands. Take note that most people spend a small fortune to visit Galapagos by taking cruises which cost well into five figures. In this series of #TravelVlogs, we’re going to show you how to do more and spend less. So BE sure to watch our entire vlog series so that you can plan out your travel activities.

Because of how far the islands are from the mainland AND the entire Galapagos cluster of islands is an archipelago of volcanic islands, food & supplies are shipped in, which contributes to higher prices. But you don’t have to spend as much as you think, which allows more travelers to check this destination off their bucket list and experience the Galapagos sooner than people imagine.

Galapagos Islands along with all of Ecuador uses USD as their currency.

Before leaving Guayaquil, we paid for a $20 transit pass at the airport that must be purchased per traveler. Upon arriving to the Seymour Airport on Isla Baltra, we had to pay the $100 Galapagos Island Fee which goes towards maintenance of the islands, conservation, protection of the animals, infrastructure and the employees doing all the work (we found this out from one of the island’s National Park Rangers.)

After going through the airport, there’s a $5 bus fee to go to the Baltra Ferry which is $1 fee to cross the Itabaca Channel. Once you cross the channel, there’s two options to head 40ish km to Puerto Ayora:
Option 1: Take the $25 Taxi which is the island’s “transport” service and is 4-door pick-up truck
Option 2: Take the bus for $5

We ended up splitting the $25 taxi fee with a couple from the Netherlands, as it’s a directional fee, not a per-person fee! SCORE!

Galapagos Airport Baltra to Puerto Ayora Santa Cruz

How to get from Baltra Airport to Puerto Ayora and how much to pay for this trip.Travel time will be around 60 - 90 minutes depending on the ferry.

100US$ National Parc entrance fee needs to be paid at the airport. If you don't have enough money the police will take your passport and return it in Puerto Ayora once you pay the fee.

For returning from Puerto Ayora to Baltra remember that there are only 3 buses a day (6:30 - 8:00 AM) A taxi instead would cost you around 25 US$.

The ecological airport uses solar power, recycled rainwater and wind energy, making it the first of its kind.

It only operates during the day, which will cover the tourist demand in the Galapagos of about 300,000 passengers a year.

The growth of tourism in the Galapagos registers positive figures; since 2006 it has grown by 11.5%. The population of the Galapagos has a restricted number of inhabitants, about 30,000, and has special regulations that protect its flora and fauna in order to maintain the natural state of the unaltered islands.

The province is located about 1,000 kilometers from Ecuador’s coastline.

The airport located in Baltra Island, which does not have access to freshwater and where access to rainwater is limited, has a desalinization plant that will provide water for the terminal to be used in restrooms. Toilet wastewater will be recycled.

Travel to Galapagos Islands with tour guides - Galapagos Islands tourism & vacations
Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide
The Galapagos Islands are a small archipelago of islands belonging to Ecuador in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The islands are quite remote and isolated, lying some 1000 km (620 miles) west of the South American continent. The Galapagos archipelago consists of 13 main islands and 6 smaller isles, which together embrace some 50,000 sq km (19,500 sq miles) of ocean.

See in Galapagos Islands
===================
On each island, the number of visitors are limited and there are only a small number of official landing and visitor sites. You must follow the instructions of your guide to protect the wildlife and you are not allowed off the marked paths. This is not a problem as the animals are so tame they will sit right on the path or cross it without caring about mere tourists.

The Charles Darwin foundation administers several research stations throughout the islands, including a large station in Puerto Ayora that is worth visiting for its animal and natural history exhibits, the Galapagos Interpretation Center in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and the Tortoise Breeding Center are the most interesting of the breeding centers in Puerto Villamil.

Samba Galapagos, Chimborazo SE-110, ☎ 289 0418, M/S Samba offers 8 or 15 day cruises around the archipelago. Our Galapagos trips are oriented to live and experience an authentic adventure in a unique and incomparable natural world.

Bartolome Island
==============
A very small island teemed with great views and wildlife next to its neighbour San Salvador (James) island. The most photographed view of the islands is found here, the famous Pinnacle Rock and the distant islands. A wooden staircase allows us to gradually ascend to the top of this large cone, without adding physical damage (erosion) to the path itself. This small island offers plenty of rewarding activities.

Wildlife highlights: Being a young island, it only allows pioneer species to conquer and thrive here. Geology and scenery are fascinating. Pinnacle Rock is by all means the best photographic attraction.

Cruises in Galapagos Islands
=====================
Cruises are the only option to see the majority of remote islands.Galapagos Cruises on the Galapagos Islands Imagine Ecuador [29] The Galapagos Tours 36, other options for selecting a cruise in the Galapagos Islands from local operators are Galapagos Boutique Yachts 37, Galapagos by Voyagers Travel, amongst other specialized travel agents.

An important cruise review site to look at and find trip reports and comments refering to the different boats operating in the archipelago is: Galapagos Travel Advisor 39.

Although the Galapagos Islands are a beautiful once -in- a -lifetime experience no matter which boat you are on, remember that you'll still spend a considerable amount of your holiday on board. Here are the most common considerations when choosing a boat.

Do I take a Galapagos Large or Galapagos Small Boat?

Small Galapagos boats, as well as impressive cruise ships have both advantages and drawbacks.

Small Galapagos Yachts:
-------------------------------------------------
For those who prefer a more intimate experience onboard and on the islands, we recommend choosing a small yacht. The small yachts that we offer are typically handmade romantic sailboats or swift modern motor yachts that offer high quality personal service. All the confort and luxury on board you will find on the Galapagos Catamarans38

There is less impact on the fragile Galapagos environment. Another advantage to small yachts is the fact that often, large ships cannot anchor or disembark at some visitor sites due to their size or a high number of passengers.

Galapagos Cruise Ships: [Cruises]
===========================
For those that want the extra safety, social feel, amenities, stability, and spaciousness that cruise ships provide, larger ships may be the ideal way to visit the Galapagos. The Galapagos National Park sets a wise limit on ships to 100 passengers.

The cruise ships offer more spacious and often more comfortable standards in service and accommodations than you thought necessary, but will truly enhance your trip.

Charter a Galapagos Boat If you are group of students, a corporation, a club, on a honeymoon and want a private experience, or any group of people who wants to explore the Galapagos Islands on a chartered boat.
