How to Get to Galápagos

Two Flights, One Ocean, and Nothing Left to You

The only way into the Galápagos is by air from mainland Ecuador, from Quito (UIO) or Guayaquil (GYE). All Anakata voyages embark and disembark in San Cristóbal (SCY), so this is the airport you'll fly into and out of.

  1. Step 1

    Reach Ecuador

    International flights arrive into Quito or Guayaquil from North America, Europe and across Latin America. We recommend arriving at least one night before your island flight. The connection is too important to leave to a same-day arrival, and a night on the mainland takes the edge off the journey.

  2. Step 2

    Fly to San Cristóbal

    Guayaquil to San Cristóbal takes about two hours; from Quito, about three, as most routings stop briefly in Guayaquil. For every voyage, we hold a block of seats on Avianca's Saturday flight, timed to your embarkation, and our team can book them for you.

  3. Step 3

    Step aboard

    Guests on our designated flight are met on arrival by an Anakata representative and transferred directly to Anamara. Your expedition begins that same afternoon.
