Puerto Ayora Inns - Reviews and Rates

Trip back to Santa Cruz was much smoother than the trip over. It was pretty sad leaving Isabela, the family was great, as were the other volunteers and the guys at the centre. We had a really great time there, saw lots, did lots, snorkelled lots, learnt lots. It was great. Anyway, we're back on Santa Cruz now, until Tuesday next week. On Thursda...

First day on the Galapagos. I get this huge rush as I see the islands from the plane...and then after multiple transfers to get to the boat, I meet my boat mates for the week...I like them all...esp my roommate...this is a varied group, in age and in home country. I'm the only American which is nice for me. We visit the Charles Darwin Research S...

Sunday 11th Nov Yawn, again 07:30 breakfast. Top notch once again. Last night was much less of a rocky boat affair and so all slept well and we were now off the coast of Española Island to the south. Once gear was gathered, we lept into the awaiting zodiacs and were taken ot Gardiner Bay. Once again, this was a long pristine white beach, crystal...

Hello, Well you´ll be pleased to know we have our camera back, in one piece, so we will be able to send you pictures after our tour. We have booked an 8 day tour and leave on Saturday. Our boat is very posh, and has seriously hurt our budget, we think that we will be ´even´ again in three months. Once in a lifetime, right? It may be the only lux...

Puerto Ayora was a sleepy enough town with a real laid back island atmostphere. We decided to head straight to a travel agents to book an islands tour as we'd heard you can get last minute deals so we didn't want to risk ...

Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz, Islas Galapagos, Ginny yo pasamos una semana increible en Puerto Ayora.

Tambien conocio a algunos de mis amigos de aquellas epocas, Cristina, el Champi, Marlo, Rosl...

Walk via the main square, Plaza Independencia, and the tourist information kiosk, where we provide some English langua...

We've just returned from our 5-day cruise of some of the Galapagos Islands. Just getting here from the Ecuadorean mainland is $330 in the off-season and when you get off the plane there is a $100 per person park admission fee. Add to that the cost of cruising the islands, which adds a $125 per person per day for a middle-range boat. Given the gr...
