Book cheap flights to Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands offer an unparalleled opportunity to encounter fearless and unique wildlife up close, much of which is found nowhere else. Travelers come primarily to observe iconic species like giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and Galapagos sea lions. Beyond observation, active exploration is key, with popular activities including snorkeling and diving among sharks and marine iguanas. You can also hike through distinct volcanic landscapes and enjoy pristine beaches like Tortuga Bay on Santa Cruz. This makes it ideal for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and divers seeking immersive encounters.

The Galapagos Islands are a year-round destination with two main seasons. The Warm/Wet season (December to May/June) provides calmer seas, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The Cool/Dry season (June/July to November) attracts abundant marine life like penguins, excellent for marine viewing. A comprehensive visit, especially on a cruise, typically spans 6 to 8 days. Flights to the Galapagos depart exclusively from Quito or Guayaquil in mainland Ecuador. Upon arrival, a mandatory Tourist Transit Card fee of £17.12 and a National Park entrance fee of £171.23 for non-Ecuadorian adults are required. Consider combining your trip with mainland Ecuador's capital, Quito, or even Machu Picchu in Peru.
