Excited about going back in time to Galapagos!

The Galápagos Islands is a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. It’s considered one of the world’s foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. A province of Ecuador, it lies about 1,000km off its coast. Its isolated terrain shelters a diversity of plant and animal species, many found nowhere else. Charles Darwin visited in 1835, and his observation of Galápagos’ species later inspired his theory of evolution.

Start and end in Baltra Island! With the our More Adventures tour 6 Days – Discover Galapagos, you have a 6 days tour package taking you through Baltra Island, Ecuador and 3 other destinations in Ecuador. 6 Days – More Adventures Discover Galapagos includes accommodation in a hotel as well as an expert guide, meals, transport and more. This 6-day adventure, it is the best all day adventures combo on Galapagos Islands that includes hiking, biking, swimming, and snorkeling. Encounter wonderful wildlife in the islands; learn about Charles Darwin’s footsteps on this fascinating archipelago.

We have seen first hand the need for travel insurance. Whether it be flight cancellations, theft, sickness, or pandemic issues, we now require each guest to purchase this. It is a very affordable and could save you a lot of headaches! MORE Adventures uses InsureMyTrip, however, please use which ever company you are comfortable with. Please make sure you fully understand your coverage to ensure all aspects are covered. Our guides will need this information for confirming your hotel accommodation. 

*YOU ARE ALLOWED ONE PIECE OF LUGGAGE AND ONE CARRY ON ONLY.

We highly suggest on packing a duffel bag for easy access. You will need to bring your luggage with you as we travel from the islands.

• Lightweight clothing that can be layered
• Long-sleeved shirts
• T-shirts and tank tops (be respectful of the culture you are visiting)
• Pants and/or shorts
• Comfortable walking shoes and hiking shoes 
• Rain jacket, windbreaker, or umbrella
• Sunglasses and glasses case
• Hat or sun visor
• Scarf or bandana
• Swimsuit or swim trunks (consider a clean/dirty organizer)
• Motion sickness meds. 
• Waterproof Camera case
• Snacks – you may want to bring additional snacks for between meals
• You will need to bring $230 cash for entrance fees as well as roughly $200 cash to have on hand for local shopping.  
• Copy of passport to put in ziploc bag as well as to take a photo and save it in your favorite on your phone. 

You’ll want to pack smart (not lots of) clothing options if your trip will take you to a variety of places, or conversely if you will be navigating off the beaten path. Having a packing list with several options doesn’t mean you’ll need to over-pack. (And in fact, you shouldn’t.) Just pack smart. Include clothing that can be worn on your daily adventures and then dressed up slightly with a different pair of shoes and a scarf. Maybe a dress that becomes a skirt, or comfortable travel pants that can be dressed up for a day at the market. Also, consider clothing with SPF or mosquito repellency if you’ll be in environments where that would be beneficial.

PACK YOUR TOILETRY BAG
If you’re carrying on, keep your toiletry bag light and TSA-compliant. The TSA’s 3-1-1 rule makes it easy to remember: liquids, gels, aerosols, creams, and pastes must be 3.4 ounces (100ml) or less per container, and they must be stored in one quart-sized, clear plastic, zip-top bag. To make this as easy as possible for you, we suggest a toiletry set that includes four 3-ounce silicone bottles in a quart-sized clear pouch that’s wipeable and has a water-resistant zipper.
