How to get to Isabela

International Flight
You can fly into Quito (UIO) or Guayaquil (GYE) on several international airlines (AA, Continental, Delta, Avianca, Copa, Iberia, KLM, LAN). After spending a night you catch a morning flight (between 7.30 and 9.45) to Baltra, Galapagos on either TAME or Aerogal. The cost from Quito is approx 410$ and from Guayaquil 360$.

From Baltra to Puerto Ayora
After you arrive in Baltra and have manually reclaimed your luggage (you will need the little luggage stub stapled to your boarding pass) you get on one of the busses out front the building that says “Canal” in the windshield. Then take this shuttle bus (free) to the ferry; take the ferry across the canal to santa cruz (cost 80 cents) and then take a bus (1.8$) or taxi (15$) to Puerto Ayora (sounds more complicated then it is – this is really the only option you have other than staying at the airport J)

From Puerto Ayora to Isabela:
The boat from Puerto Ayora leaves every day at 2PM from the port (bus or taxi will drop you off right next to the pier and will point you in the right direction). The cost is 30$. Be at the Pier latest at 1.45PM!!

After a breathtaking 2 hr boat ride you’ll arrive in Isabela where an IOI representative will pick you up at the pier…

From Baltra to Isabela airborne:
If boating is not for you or the above option strikes you as too complicated you can take an island hopper plane with EMETEBE airlines that takes you from Baltra to Isabela in approx. 30 min at midday. The cost for non-Ecuadorian citizens is 160$ one way and 270$ round trip.

Good luck and have fun! See you soon in Isabela…
