All Iberia staff with whom we interacted, including the flight crew, were helpful, kind, and professional. The plane looked practically new and was very clean. The seats were comfortable, and there was a lot of legroom in our emergency row seats. Our vegan dinner was quite good (rice with vegetables and grilled tofu, a fresh salad, and fresh fruit), but the breakfast snack seemed unappealing. Overall, this flight from Boston to Madrid was a great value.

FAQs about flying to Galapagos

Getting around Galapagos

Most flights to the Galápagos Islands will require a layover in either Quito or Guayaquil.  From Quito and Guayaquil Galápagos flights are operated by two airlines, TAME and Aerogal. From Quito, TAME has two flights to the Galápagos Islands scheduled each morning, while Aerogal operates three Galápagos Islands flights daily from Guayaquil. Once your flight to the Galapagos Islands reaches its final destination, the best way to get around the islands is by guided boat tour. 

If the first leg of your Galapagos trip starts in Santa Cruz, buses and taxis are available to get you around the city, and most guided tours of the Galapagos Islands offer various options for getting around, including bike, boat and bus travel.

  • When is the best time to fly to Galapagos?

    Whether you’re snorkelling under the sea alongside sharks and sea turtles during the wet season or admiring the stunning cactus forests in the dry season, there’s no wrong time to book a Galápagos Islands flight.  Peak Season: The busiest time to book flights to the Galápagos Islands is during the dry season (July to December), when the sun is out and the temperatures rest at a comfortable 22 degrees, on average. Colder southern currents keep the vegetation of the volcanic islands lush, providing stunning backdrops for the fascinating wildlife that make the archipelago famous.  Off-peak Season: Cheap flights to the Galápagos Islands are plentiful during the islands’ wet season due to the heavy precipitation, but it’s actually the best time of year for checking out the wildlife that live in the surrounding waters. A flight to the Galapagos Islands between the months of December and May ensures excellent conditions for diving and snorkelling.

  • What is good to know if travelling to Galapagos?

    Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution was a direct result of his scientific expedition to the Galapagos Islands in the 1830s. It was after observing the plethora of endemic species that live on the Galapagos Islands that the “survival of the fittest” notion was born. The famed Galápagos tortoises, blue-footed boobies and black iguanas spotted by Darwin have curious visitors booking Galápagos flights by the thousands. Get up close and personal with the notoriously friendly Galápagos sea lions or island feathered friends. Though the wildlife is arguably the driving motivation pushing tourists to book flights to the Galápagos Islands, the plant life and volcanic formations of the islands are breath-taking and worth a closer look. Isla Santa Cruz is home to massive cactus forests that tower over you at 30 feet high. The twisting hardened lava flows and beautiful island beaches make for fantastic photo ops with their varying black, white and red sands. Isla Santa Cruz is the second largest island in the archipelago after Isabella and is where flights to the Galapagos Islands touch down at Baltra Airport. Puerto Ayora, the busiest town and most tourist-friendly town in the islands, is an ideal locale for socializing on the beach or in the dance clubs of the city, especially if you spent the day gawking at awkward Galápagos penguins and you’re eager to interact with your own species.  The required stopover in Quito or Guayaquil on your flight to the Galápagos Islands gives you an excellent opportunity to check out two of the most thriving cities in Ecuador, so why not take an extra day to make the most of your time in between destinations? Ecuador’s capital high up in the Andes, Quito, is a bustling city that boasts an incredible collection of museums and churches in its Old Town district. Guayaquil is the largest port city in Western South America, and is more of a centre of commerce or a jumping off point for international travel than a vacation destination.

  • Can I find cheaper flights to Galapagos if I am willing to have stopovers?

    Yes, flights with stopovers are often cheaper than direct flights. Keep an eye out for flight deals to Galapagos on Cheapflights that require 1 or 2 stops for potential cost savings.

  • What is the best airline to fly to Galapagos?

    Based on reviews from Cheapflights users, Avianca is rated the highest out of the airlines that fly to Galapagos.

  • What is the cheapest airport to fly to in Galapagos?

    San Cristobal is currently the cheapest airport to fly to in Galapagos. One-way flights to San Cristobal typically cost £92, while return flights cost around £90.

  • Where does the fastest flight to Galapagos depart from?

    For those looking to save time traveling to Galapagos, London offers the quickest one-way flight (22 hours 5 minutes).

  • Are there hotels close to Baltra?

    Yes. Baltra has hotels nearby for those requiring accommodations. Luxury Safari Tents Tucked in Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos, Ecuador is the closest property to Baltra (8.0 mi away from Baltra).
