    Tania

    Asked on March 10th, 2024

    Question about the 590 flight fee. When I look up flights from Quito to Baltra they are only about 250. So why the high price?

    Flights / Transfers
    Price / Availability
    • Via Natura EcuadorOperatorWritten March 2024

      Our price is $525 per person for the round trip flight. Airlines usually offer special rates online but does not apply to tour operators. Also, there is a foreigner fee of around +$140 pp that we include, but airline websites sometimes do not show and they charge it when you are at the airline counter before the flight.

      Does your company do the booking for that flight, after the tour is purchased?

    • Via Natura EcuadorOperatorWritten March 2024

      Correct, we take care of booking the flights after the tour is purchased.

      TravelerWritten September 2022

      Where and when do we have to meet to make sure we don't miss the tour?

    • Via Natura EcuadorOperatorWritten September 2022

      Our cruise works with specific flights. We recommend passengers issue tickets with us because if flight schedules change, we will adjust our program. If your flight is delayed and other passengers are already on the boat, you may lose connection with the cruise. Meeting point is Baltra airport at 09:30 AM on Sunday January 15/2023, subject to change

    Alan

    Asked on January 17th, 2022

    Does this tour cater to all ages and activity levels? (I would be interested in snorkeling and light hikes, but my mom would probably opt to do siteseeing from the boat or very light walking) Does the boat have convenient access to medical facilities in case of any health issues/emergencies? Is it possible to request a twin cabin instead of a single bed? What time would our flight need to arrive from the mainland to Baltra? What time would we need to schedule our departing flight back to the mainland?

    • Via Natura EcuadorOperatorWritten January 2022

      All Galapagos Cruises cater to all ages and activity levels. Most days, you will have 2 hikes and 2 snorkeling immersions. Some hikes are more demanding than others, but all of them take place on uneven surfaces. Consequently, I think your mom might not be into them. In case she does not want to go on these hikes, she can either stay on the boat or go on a zodiac boat and have a view of the different places from the shore. The Monserrat is a 20-passenger boat, and we do not have a doctor on board. All guides are prepared to deliver CPR and assist guests in case of an emergency. Then, the boat will navigate to the nearest inhabited island for medical assistance. Of course, you can request a cabin with 2 beds that you and your mother can share. Via Natura arranges the air tickets for you. Flights usually arrive in Galapagos around noon, but these change al the time. This is the reason why we take care of them, to make sure that you arrive on time. Likewise, we operate with specific flights which schedules change whenever airlines decide to do so. Consequently, we prefer to issue air tickets for our guests.
