Galapagos Day Tours
Posted September 21st, 2008 by Bob the Sea LionDaytrips are based in either Puerto Ayora
or Baquerizo Moreno. Several hours are
spent sailing to and from the day’s visitor
site(s) so only a few central islands are feasible
destinations. Some trips may involve
visiting sites on other parts of Isla Santa
Cruz or Isla San Cristóbal.
One of the downsides of this kind of tour
is that there is no chance of visiting the islands
early or late in the day. The cheapest
boats may be slow and overcrowded; their
visits may be too brief; the guides may be
poorly informed; and the crew may be lacking
an adequate conservationist attitude.
Nevertheless, daytrips are useful for severe
seasickness sufferers and if your time and
budget is extremely limited.
Operators in Puerto Ayora and Baquerizo
Moreno typically charge from $40 to
$120 per person per day, depending on the
destination on offer and the quality of the
boat and guides.
