Galapagos Travel Advice
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT
The warm season (December-May) brings calmer seas, sunny skies, and warm water, perfect for snorkelling with sea lions and spotting hatching turtles. The cool, dry season (June-November) has choppier water and cooler air, but it brings with it the best marine life: think penguins and whale sharks!
FLIGHTS & TRANSPORT
Getting to the Galapagos means flying into Baltra or San Cristóbal from mainland Ecuador (Quito or Guayaquil). Once you're there, boats are your best friend for hopping between islands. On our tours, all transport is taken care of, just sit back, watch out for dolphins, and enjoy the ride!
CUISINE & FOOD
Must-tries include ceviche (the freshest you'll ever have), encocado (fish in coconut sauce), patacones (fried plantains), and langostino for the seafood lovers. Skip the overpriced tourist menus and find a local seco de pollo instead!
VISA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Entry requirements depend on your nationality and length of stay, plus the Galapagos has its own extra layer: a Transit Control Card and a national park entry fee on top of standard Ecuador entry rules. Always check your government's official travel website and Ecuador's latest entry requirements before you go!
Galápagos FAQs
What's the weather like in the Galápagos Islands?
The Galápagos Islands have two main seasons. The warm season (December-May) brings warmer waters, calmer seas, and some rainfall, great for snorkelling and diving. The cool season (June-November) is drier with cooler water temperatures but with brilliant wildlife activity, including penguin and sea lion sightings. Honestly? The Galápagos is incredible year-round!
Is there a tipping culture in the Galápagos Islands?
We'd recommend tipping around 10% of the bill at restaurants and bars when you have had great service. Tipping your guide and boat crew is also very much appreciated, they work incredibly hard to make your experience unforgettable! Your Tru Leader will be able to advise you more on tipping customs when you are out there.
Are there ATMs in the Galápagos Islands?
ATMs can be found on the main inhabited islands like Santa Cruz and San Cristóbal, but they can be unreliable and run out of cash. We'd strongly recommend bringing enough cash with you from the mainland (Ecuador uses the US Dollar) and getting a travel card before you leave for your trip (Monzo and Revolut are great options). Your Tru Leader will be able to help with any money questions on the ground!
Is the tap water in the Galápagos Islands safe to drink?
Tap water is not safe to drink in the Galápagos Islands, so we'd recommend sticking to bottled or filtered water throughout your trip.
Are the Galápagos Islands safe to visit?
Yes! The Galápagos Islands are considered a very safe destination with low crime rates. As with anywhere, it's always good to be mindful of your belongings. Your Tru Leader will be on hand for any questions you might have on safety whilst you're out there!
What language is spoken in the Galápagos Islands?
Spanish is the official language spoken in the Galápagos Islands, as they are part of Ecuador. English is spoken in many tourist-facing settings, but learning a few words of Spanish always goes down well with the locals!
