Hints & Tips for a good Boat trip on Galapagos:

If You plan a boat trip on Galapagos book the trip in Puerto Ayora on Galapagos.

You will safe aprox. 150$ (!) a person doing so and find heaps of possibilities in
all different price ranges. Most boats leave on Sunday or Thursday. 

We paid 490$ a person for 7 nights (including all meals). The same trip was
offered to us in Guayaquil for 625$ or more. Don't panic if they tell You that You will have
a hard time finding empty spaces on boats - That's their sales strategy!

When evaluating flight-&boat trip from Guayaquil don't book Your trip
with Galasan Travels. They ripped off a lot of people and we heard many
bad stories.

"Centro Viajero" around the corner (7th floor) is a great place. Karen consulted
us very competently and gave us a lot of good hints & tips for a good and
affordable boat turn on Galapagos.

Our guide on the Yolita (Miguel) would be a good bet for last minute offers too as
he knows the boats and vacancies... - I'll try to find out his handy-Nr. to post it here...

Good luck - and heaps of fun on Galapagos!
