Today, your Galapagos Island Hopping tour is starting. It is recommended to book flights with an early arrival time to Baltra Airport to make sure you can enjoy all of the activities of the tour.

After that, the driver will drop you off at your hotel.Option 2: Itinerary for flights arriving at Baltra after 12:00 PM
If your flight arrives after 12:00 PM, you will stay on Santa Cruz Island on the first day, as the last speedboat to Isabela Island leaves around 03:00 PM.

The snorkeling area in this place is about 800 meters and the average water temperature is 20 °C. The departure time to “Los Tuneles” is between 7:00 AM and 11:30 AM, and it depends on the availability and National Park regulations.

Epic Tour Of Ecuador
This vacation was absolutely EPIC!! Everything went as planned. Great guides, and beautiful scenery. Everything about it was great.
This is a go-go-tour. We added a few days in between for rest and relaxation. I would probably add one more day.
Wonderful wonderful time!!

Galapagos Adventure
We went with Rebecca Adventure Travel to the Galapagos and experienced some of the best snorkeling of our lives! Of the tour operators we talked to, Rebecca Adventure Travel was by far the most responsive and provided a lot of small but important touches to our day tour.

Land-based tour of the…
We got a lot of help to customize it to our interests. Overall the experience was very good. They arranged day tours at each destination and all transfers. We had great tour guides, they were timely, the boats were great, and they fed us well. The snorkeling guides were very professional.
