Getting there

Getting to Galapagos The Galapagos Aggressor departs from Baltra/Santra Cruz Island  Guests fly into Ecuador and take a connecting flight, through Guayaquil or Quito, to Santa Cruz/Baltra airport in Galapagos (airport code GPS) – please let us know if you need help with flights after your booking Both Guayaquil and Quito have daily flights to the islands, although Guayaquil is recommended with cheaper prices and better-timed connections You will need to overnight in Guayaquil or Quito before flying on to the Galapagos We also recommend to arrive in Galapagos a day before if possible to avoid any possible delays as a result of volcano activity   Arrival ​Once you arrive at the Baltra Airport, you will be asked to pay the $100 USD National Park fee in cash. Please keep your Park Fee receipt If you arrive on the group flight, upon your arrival, Aggressor staff will meet you at the airport to give you free group transfer to the boat via Itabaca Channel If you are already in Galapagos and making your own way to the boat, you will need to meet the boat on the dock at the Baltra side of the Itabaca Channel (this is the channel between Santa Cruz (Puerto Ayora town)( and Baltra Island airport ) at 12.00 noon on the departure date.  Check in is around noon, departure in the afternoon The boat will return to Santra Cruz on the penultimate day in the late evening Guests will have a full breakfast then check out and depart to the Baltra Airport. Be sure to remember the suggested 24 – hour no - fly rule when planning your departure.   Leaving Galapagos  On the return leg you will probably need to overnight in Guayaquil or Quito since most international flights depart too early to make the connection possible.  The flight from Galapagos arrives in Guayaquil (and then Quito) in the afternoon.   If you need help with the domestic flights, please let us know after your reservation. We request your patience with this process since there are often waiting lists and slow confirmations of availability. You must inform us whether you are flying into Guayaquil or Quito before domestic flights can be considered.
