From commercial premium cabins to private jets and inter-island charters, a dedicated flight desk composes every movement across Ecuador and the Galápagos.
Every journey to Galápagos begins on the Ecuadorian mainland. Below, the three gateway cities we depart from, with typical flight times, cabin classes and what to expect on arrival.
The most common gateway. Morning departures from the capital, with a technical stop in Guayaquil before crossing to the islands. Ideal for travellers acclimatising in the highlands first.
The fastest and smoothest crossing, sea-level departure, direct flight. Preferred by travellers who begin on the coast or who wish to avoid altitude before the islands.
For travellers ending their Andes journey in colonial Cuenca. Short domestic hop to Guayaquil, then the ocean crossing. We coordinate the connection so it feels seamless.
All Galápagos flights require the INGALA transit control card (USD 20) and National Park entry fee (USD 200 for foreign adults, from 2024).
Baltra (GPS) serves Santa Cruz; San Cristóbal (SCY) serves the eponymous island. Your yacht or hotel dictates the airport.
Only two airlines currently operate, Avianca and LATAM. We hold quiet allocations on both.
Share a few details and our flight desk will reply within 24 hours with live availability, cabin options and indicative fares.
We accept a limited number of new travellers each season. A private conversation with Vanesa is the first, unhurried step.
