Good Ideas and places to visit the Galapagos Islands
Some people prefer boat tours over land based, as you tend to travel at night (therefore have longer time on land), and can reach less-accessible locations, visit islas that are located further away. The other side, land based tourism in the Galapagos Islas offers a more stable night sleep, and opportunity to get to know the culture of the people in the islas, eat with the locals, have a glass of wine, chat and walk, with this option you will experience how people live in the Galapagos Island. But as any traveling, all depends on your interests, each island offers up special animals, bird life, snorkel adventures, vegetation, ecoology, and geology. If you are a birds person, then a tour that goes to Genovesa to see the red footed boobies is spectacular, or the Waved Albatross on Española island, Fernandina for flightless cormorants. Snorkel activities spots are Devil´s crown off Floreana and around of Fernandina as well. There is so much to choose from in the Galapagos Islands. No matter what you decide, the Galapagos islands are truly amazing and you will have a wonderful expereince no matter what you decide.
Most of tours will take you to Isabela it is a common tour. There are some new 8 day itineraries alternatives in ships that will take you around the North West (which includes Isabela) and the South East (which usually visits more islands). It is adviced to try avoiding an itinerary that visits only nearby islands, becuase these tend to offer less diversity. Of course, with some more money you can take a 15 day cruise and go back home with way more pictures, experiences, and enjoyment.
Budget can be a limiting factor for visiting the Galapagos Islands. Some cruise price can go for around $1,600 for a standard most economic (basic ship) 8 day cruise, per person to as high as $5,000. Of course, there are often interesting deals that comes available, and you have to keep on looking for those in the internet. We have found very decent ships with great tour guides in the $2,500 range.
A season that you could avoid to go to the Galapagos Islands is Christmas. This is the busiest time of year in the Galapagos Islands, if you DO want to go during that season, it is adviced to plan with a year or more to have more options to choose from.
