All itineraries must be approve by the Galapagos National Park Service and are subject to change.

Prevention of misconnecting flights / delayed luggage - All flights to Galapagos depart from mainland Ecuador in the morning.  Therefore you MUST arrive in Ecuador at least one day before the start of your Galapagos cruise.  This is one of the nights which is included in the Deep Blue package.  However we recommend that all passengers traveling to Galapagos allow two nights in mainland Ecuador prior to their cruise to allow for potential flight delays, misconnections and delayed luggage.  This is particularly important for passengers traveling over holidays when flights tend to be overbooked and delayed caused by bad weather conditions.   Adding the extra night will help insure that any delayed luggage can be claimed prior to your flight to Galapagos.  Additions nights at the Grand Hotel cost $95 per room (not per person) including the 22% room tax and breakfast.
