Preguntas frecuentes sobre tours de Bartolome Island

Which airport should I fly into for a Galápagos cruise departure?

Fly directly to Seymour Airport (GPS) on Baltra Island or San Cristóbal Airport (SCY). Most cruises depart from these two islands. Avoid landing in Quito or Guayaquil unless you have a domestic connection booked. Upon arrival, pay the $100 park fee in cash before clearing customs to ensure smooth entry to the archipelago.

When is the rainy season in the Galápagos and does it ruin trips?

The warm, wet season runs from December to May, bringing short afternoon showers and higher humidity. This period does not ruin trips; it offers calmer seas, warmer water for swimming, and peak breeding activity for land birds. Rain rarely lasts all day. Pack a lightweight rain jacket, but expect plenty of sunshine between brief tropical downpours during this vibrant season.

Do I need a special transit card before traveling to the Galápagos?

Yes, you must obtain the TCT (Transit Control Card) for $20 before checking in for your flight on the mainland. Visit the INGALA counter at Quito or Guayaquil airports with your passport and flight details. You cannot buy this card on the islands. Keep this card safe, as officials will collect it when you depart the archipelago to return to mainland Ecuador.

What currency is used in the Galápagos and are credit cards accepted?

The US Dollar is the official currency throughout the Galápagos Islands. Bring small bills ($1, $5, $10) for tips, local buses, and small shops, as change is often scarce. Credit cards are accepted in larger hotels and some restaurants on Santa Cruz and San Cristóbal, but many remote stops and smaller vendors operate on cash only. ATMs are limited and frequently run out of money.
