Frequently Asked Questions about hostels in Galápagos Islands

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador?

    For budget travelers in the Galápagos, exploring the free attractions is key. Many islands have incredible beaches perfect for swimming and sunbathing; Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island has a lovely boardwalk perfect for a stroll. Hiking the trails on Santa Cruz Island to see the giant tortoises at the Charles Darwin Research Station is also free, although donations are appreciated. Remember, entrance fees to national parks still apply.
  • What are the best hostels in Galápagos Islands?

  • What are some unmissable, lesser-known spots in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador?

    While the iconic islands are amazing, consider exploring Española Island for its unique waved albatrosses (breeding season is ideal, usually between April and December) and the stunning blowholes.

For a different perspective, visit the highlands of Santa Cruz Island, where you can see giant tortoises in their natural habitat outside of the research station.
