Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fly directly to the Galapagos Islands?

There are currently no direct international flights to the Galapagos Islands. Airlines will only fly to the islands from Ecuador’s capital Quito and the city of Guayaquil.

What language do the people of Ecuador speak?

The official language of Ecuador is Spanish, and as such we recommend you bring a Spanish phrasebook with you to ease any communication. Ecuadorian dialects may vary from standard Castilian Spanish, however the base language remains the same and is largely understood. 

What currency should I use in Ecuador?

The official currency of Ecuador  is the US dollar. We recommend you convert your cash prior to departure, as airport conversion rates may not always be favourable. As you would expect, locals prefer to be paid in smaller denominations. Cash machines are prevalent throughout Quito, but please keep in mind that there may be international usage fees, and many banks have a maximum withdrawal of around $500 a day.

Multi-cultural Quito and its European-inspired architecture is a charming starting point for an unforgettable journey across the Galapagos Islands. There’s no shortage of incredible biodiversity on offer here, whether you’re seeking awe-inspiring snorkelling experiences, relaxing on white sands, or you’re a keen photographer revelling in the variety of exotic landscapes on display.
