Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy travel insurance before traveling to Ecuador?

Galapagos Islands Travel strongly recommends that customers buy travel insurance with full coverage, including medical, cancellation, delays, material losses, and life coverage. Galapagos Islands Travel does not provide any kind of trip insurance and we do not accept liability for accidents or events beyond our control.

What happens if I cancel a confirmed tour?

Cancellations are taken on a case-by-case basis and depend on the services you have booked, the travel dates, and the property booked. As a rule, Galapagos Islands Travel does not charge a cancellation fee if you decide not travel, we pass on the costs of cancellation from supplier yachts, ships, hotels and other service providers.
