Flights to Galapagos


San Cristobal beachGalapagos has two airports which receive flights from mainland Ecuador, but no international flights to Galapagos.

The most frequently used airport is at Baltra, across a narrow strait from Santa Cruz, the other at Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, on San Cristobal

The two islands are 96 km apart and on most days there are local flights in light air­craft between them, as well as to Puerto Villamil on Isabela. There is also irregular boat ser­vice between Puerto Ayora, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Puerto Villamil and Floreana.

The flight time to the Galapagos Islands is approx. 1 1/2 hours from Guayaquil and 2 1/2 hours (incl. stop in Guayaquil) from Quito. The flights are operated by TAME and AeroGal.

Two buses meet flights from the mainland at Baltra: one runs to the port or muelle where the cruise boats wait; the other goes to Canal de Itabaca, the narrow channel which separates Baltra from Santa Cruz. It is 15 mins to the Canal, free, then you cross on a small ferry for US$0.70, another bus waits on the Santa Cruz side to take you to Puerto Ayora in 45 mins, U$ 1.50. If you arrive at Baltra on one of the local inter-island flights then you have to wait until the next flight from the mainland for bus service, or you might be able to hire a taxi. The airport in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is within walking distance of the town, but those on p rearranged tours will be met.
