Galapagos Islands cruises FAQ

How long is the flight from Ecuador to Galapagos?

Your international flights to Ecuador arrive at Quito or Guayaquil.

It is normal to spend at least one night in a hotel, and then take a domestic flight in the morning with Tame or Aerogal to the Galapagos, landing at Baltra or San Cristobal.

These domestic flights always start from Quito, stop at Guayaquil 30 minutes later, and then continue to the Galapagos after refuelling.

The Galapagos Islands are about 600 miles west of the Ecuadorian mainland, and flying time is around 1 hour 40 minutes.

The aircraft are either Boeing 727 or Airbus 310. Your return flight from Galapagos will arrive back in the afternoon.
