Book a package at an eco-hotel to combine excursions with luxury accommodations. All-inclusive packages make navigating the Galapagos a breeze. Packages cost between $800 and $1,800 per person and range from three to seven nights.
Stay on Santa Cruz for the biggest selection of accommodations, from youth hostels to luxury hotels. The most expensive suite on the island costs several hundred dollars per night.
Fly into either Santa Cruz or San Cristobal, the only two islands with airports. Planes from Quito and Guayaquil in Ecuador fly daily to both airports.
Arrange day trips to other islands if you are staying in a hotel. Small boats can be hired for $25 or $30 each way between the main islands.
Choose to see the Galapagos Islands by cruise. Cruise ships at budget, moderate and luxury price points are the most common way to tour the islands. One to two week trips in luxury yachts can cost between $2,000 and $7,000 per person and typically do not include airfare.
