Yes. Passengers must complete the online Sworn Statement of Biosafety via the ABG platform within 48 hours of their flight. The system generates a QR code required for boarding.

It is strictly prohibited to bring fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, unprocessed foods, plants, or animal products that could introduce invasive species. All luggage undergoes biosecurity inspection at the mainland airport.

Violations of National Park rules (e.g., touching wildlife or leaving trails) result in fines from $500 to $5,000 USD and immediate expulsion from the archipelago without a refund.

We recommend coordinating flights with Galaxy Cruises to ensure group arrival. If booking independently, flights must coincide with the ship's embarkation window, and an additional $60 fee applies.

The Galapagos Islands are an ideal destination for year-round operations, but they are divided into two distinct seasons:

• Warm Season (December to May): Tropical climate with warmer, calmer waters—ideal for families and snorkeling..
• Dry Season (June to November): Cooler, nutrient-rich waters and trade winds—ideal for diving and observing marine megafauna.

The sea is often rougher from July to October due to the Humboldt Current. For clients prone to seasickness, we recommend the December–May season or booking cabins on lower decks.

No. Due to their geographical location on the equator and the influence of cold and temperate ocean currents, the Galapagos Islands do not experience any risk or presence of hurricanes or cyclonic storms at any time of year.

Routes are designated by the National Park to offer diverse experiences:

• North/West (e.g., Isabela or Fernandina): Features younger volcanic landscapes, Galapagos penguins, and flightless cormorants.
• South/East (e.g., Española or San Cristóbal): Older islands with white sand beaches, sea lion colonies, and albatrosses.
