Question: Where can you find blue-footed boobies, Godzilla-like reptiles and some charming centenarians?

Answer: Halloween in Benidorm? The Galápagos Islands, of course!

Alight teeeechnically, these flights are to the costal city of Guayaquil. But, we've practically grown a Darwin-esque beard since the last decent Ecuador fares showed up, so this is definitely a win in our books.

Plus, it's still Galápagos gateway territory, so after lounging on Engabao's sun-drenched shores and filling up on tangy encebollado, you know where to go next…

After you land...

If you're hitting up the Galápagos, here are a few tips to get you started:

Baltra/Santa Cruz Island:

Head to the Twin Craters—these massive sinkholes that are just breathtaking. If you're into nature, you'll adore all the weird and wonderful plants in the area.

And if you're looking to cool off, there's Las Grietas. The water there is so clear and turquoise, it'll feel almost like swimming in a postcard.

San Cristobal Island:

Hit the Interpretation Center to become a Galápagos expert. Then, take a hike to Punta Pitt to see those boobies (the bird kind, of course).

Next, hop on a boat tour to Kicker Rock and get your snorkel on with some friendly turtles.

Finally, visit Galapaguera Cerro Colorado to visit some giant tortoises falling in looove—it's like The Bachelor, but with shells.

Finding trips

Step

We recommend Google Flights to find these trips because it has an easy-to-use calendar tool to browse dates and fares. See an example itinerary by pressing the blue button below.

Select one of the date boxes to expand the calendar view and see fares for each departure date. The fares shown will update if you pick a longer or shorter trip - trying different lengths can reveal more options.

You can find the cheapest fares with an Online Travel Agent in step two, or book with the airline once you select both flights on Google Flights.

👀 Important: You may notice a cheaper fare listed on Google Flights from the OTA Travel Decorum. We would, however, advise that you avoid this particular OTA, due to their reputation of revealing hidden costs after booking. For more information, check out our guide on booking with OTAs.
