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-conscious travellers, exploring the Galápagos Islands doesn't mean missing out. Many of the islands' highlights are free or very inexpensive. Hiking the trails on Santa Cruz Island, such as the path to Tortuga Bay, is a fantastic free activity offering stunning beach views and wildlife sightings. Similarly, exploring the Charles Darwin Research Station in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz, is relatively inexpensive and provides insights into conservation efforts. Snorkelling in some of the bays, particularly around Santa Cruz and Isabela islands, can be enjoyed without organised tours, although appropriate safety precautions should always be taken. Remember to always respect wildlife and the environment.

On Santa Cruz, the highlands, with their giant tortoises roaming freely in their natural habitat, offer a different perspective.
