Due to Government measures in Ecuador, many of the ships and yachts operating in the Galapagos Islands implemented a fuel tax as of June 1, 2008. The amount of the fuel tax varies depending on the fuel consumption for each vessel and is identified under rates on the web page for each ship or yacht.

Galapagos Flight:
When we reconfirm your reservation for the boat we will make the reservation for the Quito-Galapagos-Quito (or Guayaquil) flight so you are ensured space on the plane to meet our boat. Galapagos tickets and boarding passes are issued at the airport on the morning of the flight. The Galapagos flight schedules vary depending on your ship or yacht. Please be advised that there is a limit of 20 kilos of checked luggage (per person) on the flight to Galapagos.
