excellent
Олег, спасибо за информацию, прекрасное видео! Можно узнать какие тур агентства избегать? Мы планируем наше путешествие в Апреле.
Рад, что видео оказалось полезным! Мы бронировали все туры не заранее, а уже на острове по прибытию - это дешевле, но более рискованно. Агентство, про которое плохо отзываюсь в видео называется Leverotrans SA (они на о. Санта Круз) - из-за них мы так и не попали на главный остров Бартоломе. Сейчас я сотрудничаю с агентством Happy Gringo, которое специализируется на путешествиях по Эквадору и Галапагосским островам. Я рекомендую посетителям моего сайта обращаться к ним. У них замечательная команда, отличные отзывы, и они помогут заранее забронировать все туры на островах, а также грамотно спланировать маршрут. Если захотите узнать у них цены, буду благодарен, если заполните форму на моем сайте: mytrip2ecuador.com/get-free-quote/. Они свяжутся с вами, а я получу небольшую комиссию, если вы в итоге закажете туры через это агентство.
We should’ve watched your video before. We managed to have our honeymoon at the Galapagos and it was incredible. We arrived at San Cristóbal, took a boat to Puerto Ayora, and flew back from Baltra. We had limited time, but everything worked out. Keep in mind that the entry fee costs now 200 usd, and the entry permit should be organized in advanced. Unless you want to spent one night in Guayaquil or Quito.
oh wow that's sad they increased entry fee but hope they invest it all into islands protection. how do you organize entry permit in advance? online?
@ We hired a travel agency in Guayaquil that arranged the permits for us. You can also do it yourself online, but we didn’t want to risk it since we only had 1.5 hours to change flights in Guayaquil. And just to be precise, the entry fee depends on your nationality.
Fantastic and super informative video! I've been scouring all Galapagos videos and yours has been the most helpful. I do have a question though - you've shown several times the photo of the tour operator NOT to work with but I can't actually see their names. What is the name of the agency?
Glad it was helpful! The name of the agency is Leverotrans SA
This is by far one of the best guides on Galapagos island on TH-cam! Thank you for sharing! I'm now a bit intimidated by the boat transport situation 😢.. How would you rate the quality of the snorkeling gear provided at the tours? Do they also rent the wetsuits? Many thanks again for the detailed guide🙏
Thanks for the feedback, happy to hear this! Snorkeling equipment was good enough to see the marine beauty of the Galapagos and yes they rent wetsuits as well.
Well done! Very useful. During what month did you go to Ecuador? We're planning to go there in December/January during the school holidays and we're wondering about the weather conditions.
Thank you. We had a trip on September, make sure to check weather conditions if you are planning to do high altitude hiking trails it could be rainy
@mytrip2somewhere564 thank you! Yes, but the weather is getting pretty unpredictable nowadays and as you've seen, weather apps aren't doing a good job either 😀
Great video! This is really helpful. I'm not sure if you've mentioned it in your video but are you quoting in CAD or USD?
USD
This is really informative! Probably the most useful video that I've seen for planning my trip. Thank you!
Glad to help with your Galapagos trip!
That's a marathon vacation
haha sort of felt like it
Great video... I'm doing a land tour to spare myself the logistics 🫠
How do you use internet while on the islands?
it's extremely terrible out there, emails were loading for 3-5 minutes sometimes. I had local sim card
Hi Oleg excellent video. Good content, well presented, very informative - good to have some advice about things to avoid, as well as great things to do. Many thanks.
how many days do we need at this island to see them all?
i'd stay at least 3 nights
Yupp never trust the weather app lol. Just look outside the window and that will tell you how the day will be 😂
What month were you there?
It was October
We want excursions that are close to leave for Galápagos Islands
Amazing views but be clear how far it is from the airport
What was that waterfall called in equator
could you plz refer to time code, i have a few waterfalls in the video
Its called Pailon del diablo
We are traveling to Ecuador on our way to the Galapagos islands with diving and land exploration as well.Any advice is appreciated for just two weeks
We want to not only dive as our main goal but also explore the islands
Looks like dead flora
The flora on the Galápagos Islands might appear "dead" or lifeless at certain times, especially during the dry season, but it’s not actually dead. The islands have a harsh, arid environment, and many plants have adapted to these conditions by going dormant during dry periods to conserve water. During these times, the vegetation can look brown, dry, and withered, which might give the impression that it's dead. However, when the rainy season returns, these same plants often burst back to life, turning green and vibrant again.
If you only had time to visit two of the islands, which one would you choose?
Isabela and San Cristobal islands
Amazingly informative video!
Hope it will help you to enjoy your Galapagos trip!
This video is so helpful, thank you for sharing! How were you able to get taxis everywhere? Were they just waiting around or did you have to call a company or something? Thanks!
yeah usually there are many of them are around, white trucks. you can always call them as well
Excelent video, thanks for sharing.
In terms of airbnbs, you have to find an airbnb that has a portero (security guard) to manage who is coming in and out of the condo. And make sure that you're on the 3rd floor or higher.
great tip!
The City of Quito began to form 1000 years before Christ. Famous in the pre-Columbian period, for being adorned by tons of gold sculptures. Since 1534, the maximum expression of American Baroque.
Best way to know Ecuador
Sea lions smell like a big protein fart but they're really entertaining with their antics and dramas.
haha true
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent and informative
Thank you!

May I know which month was your visit ?
It was October
I was told to only travel mid December to May if I want to see clear water conditions, instead of cloudy water. We want to travel in August. How did you decide which month to travel?
@@ClaudiaAstudillo-p3f Generally, you can travel to Galapagos any time of the year. Each month is unique. The ones that are warmer usually have way more people as well which is not good for some ppl. You can check my article for more details: mytrip2ecuador.com/galapagos-islands-travel-guide/#What_is_The_Best_Time_To_Travel_To_Galapagos_Islands
Hi, which island did you like more Santa Cruz or San Cristobal? If you had to choose to spend a few days only in one of these two?
I'd choose San Cristobal due to its proximity to the airport in this case. Also, I loved San Cristobal more than Santa Cruz.
@@mytrip2somewhere564 Thanks.
Hi Oleg, Thank you for so detailed itineraries! Could you please confirm which SIM card do you recommend using in Ecuador & Galapagos, the ESIM or a normal SIM? I found you referred to two source.. Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful. I've been travelling for 30 days throughout the Ecuador so I used local SIM from Movistar. ESIM was not working well.
Thank you, this is very informative! Appreciate this video
Glad it was helpful!
I am planning my trip to the Galapagos and wanted to make sure Guayaquil is safe to travel to, can you let me know what you think? This video was very informative. Thank you :)
Can't say Guayaquil is the safe destination, you can check my previous video (go to Day 14 and 15 - th-cam.com/video/eF2YBYCYF5M/w-d-xo.html ) or read my article about how safe Guayaquil is: mytrip2ecuador.com/is-guayaquil-safe-for-tourists/ . Enjoy your Galapagos trip!
If you watch any video on what to do see eat and experience in Ecuador, watch this video first! It's so thorough and considerate.
