FAQs about Galapagos: Can I book Inter-Islands flights?
Yes, it is possible; there is a local airline specialized on inter-island flights; they fly a small aircraft (Cessna plane) 3 times a week between Baltra Island and Isabela Island (Puerto Villamil) as well as between Baltra and San Cristobal Islands Last we heard, fares were a little over $135.00 one way per person so if you have the money and not the time, this is a great way to get from island to island.
You can also charter hourly planes between US$450 and US$ 600 (rates are subject to verification), but can gladly cater this service for you!

Travelers are advised to arrive at least 24 hours before their scheduled departure for the Galapagos. Even 48 hours is preferable. Galapagos flights from Quito depart between 06:30 and 07:00, so it’s an early-morning connection. International flight delays are the most common reason travelers miss their Galapagos departure.
Yes. Avianca operates direct flights from Quito (UIO) to Baltra (GPS) on select days without a Guayaquil layover. Most other services route through Guayaquil with a 40-minute stop. LATAM also operates routes via Guayaquil. A direct flight saves roughly 40–60 minutes of total travel time.
It depends on your itinerary. Most cruises and tours specify which airport to use. Some begin in Baltra and end in San Cristóbal (or vice versa), making an open-jaw route the most practical option. If you have flexibility, Baltra is more commonly used and has slightly more flight options.
