Can I book my flights to Galapagos myself?
While you have the option to book your Galapagos flights yourself, we highly recommend entrusting this to us for a seamless experience.
- Avoid Additional Costs: Booking through us eliminates potential extra charges of 50-100USD per person. To ensure the smooth operation of our trips, it's crucial that all clients synchronize their arrivals and departures. Shipowners reserve "allotments" with airlines, pre-booking tickets for all travelers, securing seats, and cargo capacity for essential items. Should these pre-reserved flights go unused, the resulting costs are passed on to us and, consequently, to you as a "flight penalty."
- Mitigate Increased Risk: Opting for self-booking comes with increased risk. If you choose this route, coordinate with us to match the flights of fellow passengers or secure earlier options. This coordination extends to return flights, where group dynamics impact our ability to accommodate individual early departures. Please note: we cannot guarantee the ship will wait for you in the event of a delay with your self-booked flight, emphasizing the inherent risks of booking independently
