Hi Gary,
Do you know the best places to stay on the Galapagos islands without spending too much money? I really appreciate your help.

Santiago Guamani, the owner of Ecuador Amazing Tours, was just visiting us today here in Cotacachi. Santiago has been in the business for nearly 15 years, and is well experienced running Ecuadorian tours for North Americans.
Eduardo Jaramillo, his director in the Galapagos, is bi-lingual and will be your best source to help you get exactly what you want. There are two types of tours in Galapagos, one is the combined tour, which offers a hotel stay and day cruises to the different islands. Hotels are in a variety of price ranges. The second is the boat tour where you have a room on a boat. The boat tours the different islands and anchors at a different island each night.

The boat tours are more expensive, unless you choose to stay at one of the very expensive hotels. If you want a do-it-yourself tour, you can book a hotel, then make your arrangements with any number of boats.
However, Santiago said you definitely need someone to help with your transfer to your hotel when you arrive at the airport. It is complex, and if you miss your boat connection to your hotel, you may find yourself out on the street for the night. I suggest that your best and easiest route would be to make some kind of arrangement for a tour before you get there, then you don't have to worry about handling the logistics when you don't know the area. You can simply enjoy your incredible Galapagos experience.
Give Eduardo a call and talk to him at the number below, or write an email to the email address. You can look at their website, www.galapagosamazing.com to see what they are all about.

Happy touring,

Make sure you don't use a company called "Ninfa Tours." Also, if the price seems too cheap, it will probably not be a very high quality tour. Galapagos trips are expensive and some tour operators cut corners to make trips affordable for Ecuadorians. You can save money elsewhere in Ecuador, spend good money on one of the nice boats and you will be happy.
