To visit, the majority of the islands will require that you hire a guide licensed within the Galapagos National Park. You can book day trips to some of the islands from the main touristic hub of Puerto Ayora in Santa Cruz. You can also book small cruises, as well as land-based hiking trips, eco-hotels and diving excursions.

Le meilleur moyen de se rendre à Las Grietas est de prendre un bateau-taxi depuis le port principal de Santa Cruz.

One of my best trip ever!!! I recommend San Cristobal Island and Isabella (much more wildlife and different species on these islands). It is about 2 hours by speedboat to get from San Cristobal to Santa Cruz and then another 2 hours to get from Santa Cruz to Isabella, tickets are about 25 US$ and boat run twice a day, early in the morning and late in the afternoon (in September 2021). Islands are pretty small so you can do many things by foot.
To get to the Galapagos, you have to take a plane from Guayaquil; there are some entrance restriction, such as a proof of a return ticket, accommodation booking proof, proof of double vaccination against Covid-19 and proof of negative PCR test less than 72 hours before the flight and then you have to pay 25US$. There are some other entrance fees once you get out of the plane; price depends on which country you are from (for Canadians, it was 100US$ cash per person; there is no ATM at the airport).
