Therefore, we help you to get the best boat ticket deal, as it is the easiest and cheapest way of transportation in Galapagos. As a result, here are a few things you should know about the inter-island boat connections:

Your safety is our #1 priority
We want you to be save and enjoy your time in Galapagos as much as you can. Hence, we do not recommend buying ferry tickets that seem to be an unbelievable good deal because most of the time, they are not great deals. As locals, we know which boats are taken good care of and we only work with them.

Agora Tours Isabela

It was a nice tour. The snorkeling was not so good, low visibility, but the walk and visiting Las Grietas were nice! Thanks to Agora Tours! 😃

Academy Bay Tour

It is a very nice tour. The views are amazing and the snorkeling is also nice! Thanks to Agora Tours! 😃

Bartolome & Sullivan Bay

We really enjoyed our tour! The guide was hilarious and very helpful in helping us spot the wildlife

Las Tintoreras by Boat

Los Tuneles was great. Beautiful landscape and a lot of animals to see and enjoy! 😃 Thanks again, Agora Tours 😃👍🏻

Los Tuneles - Standard Boat

Las Tintoreras was beautiful, we saw a lot marine wildlife and also a pinguïn and blue footed boobies. Really liked it. Thanks to Agora Tours! 👏🏻😃

It was a nice tour. Lovely views and a nice walk. Really enjoyed it. Thanks, Agora Tours! 👌🏻😃

Sulphur Mines

It was the best snorkeling tour we've ever had. Alan, our guide, was great, and so was the crew. He told us so much and explained everything. We saw turtles, sharks, seahorses, rays, and of course lots of sea lions and other fish. Snorkeling with the sea lions was a unique experience. We would do the tour again anytime. 
Thank you for an unforgettable day. 

We loved our tours! The team at Agora is super nice. The best was the Los Tuneles tour with our guide Darwin. Highly recommend! 

Your Galapagos Trip (Meredith)

We had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide Darwin was excellent in finding unique sea creatures and explaining interesting information about the animals. The lunch provided on the boat was tasty and we all enjoyed the snorkeling. Everything was managed professionally and we had a great time. Thank you!

This was an amazing trip. The team of Juan Carlo, Orlando, Roberto and Carlos were all fantastic. We had so much fun and saw so many different species of birds and marine life. The food was amazing and the staff for the booking process were incredible. Overall an exceptional experience.

About the 360 tour Agora Tours booked for me via GalapagosXcursion. Really loved the trip: on time, good service, friendly and enthousiastic people, nice boat, good gear and nice snacks. Had a great time! 🥰

360° Tour

I really appreciate the trip planned by Agora Tours for me. It was a tour of 4 daily trips to different islands from Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz. The organization was flawless and the experience was nothing short of amazing! Also the information about logistics on the islands was really handy and helped me prepare for the trip. Thank you so much! Can't recommend it enough! 

Evgeny's trip

excelente experiencia, muy entretenido! Vimos pingüinos, tortugas, tiburones y muchos peces.

Las Tintoreras by Kayak

We booked 2 tours with Agora Tourds on Isabela island. They were super professional and shared many information already before the trip. Everything was well organized and we had a great time. The guides were super friendly and knowledgeable. They took also care that my 4 year old son felt comfortable. I can highly recommend this tour operator and want to thank Alicia and Carlos for their hospitality.

Batu Galapagos 2026

The booking was easy and the tour staff are friendly and courteous. We had a good time.

Well organized tour, fantastic nature experience and extremely helpful team!

Una excursión muy recomendable. Nuestro guía fue atento en todo momento y demostró un gran conocimiento, explicándonos con detalle y rigor científico todo lo que íbamos observando durante el recorrido. La agencia cuenta con barco propio, se encargó de organizar los traslados hasta el muelle y además nos proporcionó todo el equipo necesario para hacer snorkel, lo que hizo la experiencia aún más cómoda y completa.

We really enjoyed this trip and our guide! We saw the Galapagos hawk, Nazca boobies (tons), mockingbirds, the Galapagos dove, and had a nice hike. The snorkel was awesome and we had sea lions swim with us. The guide was also very friendly and knowledgeable. We went with Valeria 1, which was a good group of people and had a great captain. The only negative was the boat ride was 3-3.5 hours each way, I thought it was around 2 lol. 

Española

We really enjoyed the animals we saw. Hammerheads, whitetips, and turtles. The negative is more about the tour/boat we went with (Galapagos Party). It was a bunch of ~20 year olds, including the guide, and they seemed more interested in hanging out with each other than spending time with the guests. I'm 33, so I understand the desire for a good time, just seemed more like a solo trip overall. 

Kicker Rock

The ferry had some technical issues which resulted in a delay. Besides this the ferry was good. 

I really loved this tour. The people running the agency are super professional and I would book again with them. Thanks! 

I visited the Sulphur Mines with Agora Tours, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The tour was well organized, and the guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared many interesting facts about the history and geology of the area. The Sulphur Mines themselves are truly unique, with stunning landscapes and vibrant colors that make the place feel surreal. Agora Tours made the trip comfortable and enjoyable, and I highly recommend them to anyone planning to visit this incredible location.

Absolutely perfect, wonderful tour. We loved our naturalist guide Alam, who was hospitable, knowledgable, funny, and friendly! He took incredible GoPro pics & videos that he shared with everyone via AirDrop free of charge on the way back from the tour. Agora staff/family owners were wonderful as well - very hospitable and fun to be around. We saw too many wildlife sights to count, and learned a lot about the natural and geological wonders of Isabela too. The lunch (sandwich, apple) and snacks (cookies) plus juice & soda was a very nice addition. Our guide helped a group member who was having trouble snorkeling with great patience and kindness. I can't imagine a better day in the Galapagos! I recommended this tour to two groups on the beach afterwards. 

Was an amazing experience very well run company

We had an amazing trip to Galapagos and booking everything with Agora Tours made planning really simple. I sent them what we were hoping to do and they made suggestions that improved on it. We felt especially well taken care of on Isabella though we booked our Santa Cruz and speedboats through them as well. Prices were reasonable which made it easy to just have them plan it all for us. Isabella was definitely the highlight of our trip and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Stephanies Tours

This was a fantastic day trip which included hiking and snorkeling. Our guide was excellent, and we received a great deal in information regarding the wildlife and surrounding area. I would highly recommend this trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private kayaking trip with our guide, Richard. Once our kayaking skills were assessed (we are somewhat experienced), Richard tailored the experience to include extra time paddling, secluded and private bays, and a little open water. He pointed out interesting flora and fauna details, and allowed us to set our pace. We weren’t rushed on, and Richard gave us as much time as we wanted to observe the seals, birds, and the little penguino fishing and swimming around our kayaks. This was an amazing trip and I believe the incremental price for a private tour was most definitely worthwhile. 

This was an outstanding trip from start to finish. Agora Tours clearly communicated pick up procedure, expectations, and provided an extremely knowledgeable and skilled guide (Pablo). It was clear throughout the tour that safety was a prime consideration, and our guide made sure that our group stayed together, stayed hydrated, and enjoyed the experience. This tour is definitely recommended and is a shorter hike - but with more variety - to the whole Sierra Negro Volcano hike. Don’t hesitate to book with Agora tours!

Agora Tours booked our ferry for us with outstanding service and effectiveness. Not only did they manage to get us on our preferred ferry, but they provided directions and protocols so we knew exactly where to go, what to expect, and what to bring. In addition, they provided an unexpected small discount to the listed ferry ticket price, and arranged a reliable taxi for us so we would arrive at the necessary time. I would 💯% recommend agora tours for all your needs on Isabela Island.

Fue todo maravilloso muy bien organizado y excelente atención de la agencia antes y después de la compra del tour. El personal del barco, Roberto y Juan Carlos el capitán junto a Rodolfo el guia hacen todo para que sea un paseo maravilloso y saben donde ir para ver todos los animales. Excelente 

Isla Tortuga

I had a great experience with Agora Tours’ 360 tour around San Cristóbal. The tour was well-organized, the crew and guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and we got to see amazing wildlife — including snorkeling with hammerhead sharks and sea turtles. Communication before the trip was clear and helpful, and the whole day felt worth the cost. I’d recommend Agora Tours if you want a memorable and smoothly run 360 tour in the Galápagos.

Der Ausflug war wunderbar. Tolle Landschaft, tolles Schnorcheln. Ein Ausflug der in Erinnerung bleibt.
Ein Hinweis: es sollte auch vegetarisches Essen geben, oder ein Hinweis, dass man vorher Bescheid geben muss, wenn man Vegetarier ist.

We booked 6 tours across 3 islands with Agora.  All tours were fantastic and as presented.

Howard Hunter Clark's trip

We did the Los Tuneles tour. The whole crew was amazing. A very good team spirit. Very helpful. Very carring. My little daughter was afraid of the snorkeling mask. And one of the boat crew was snorkeling with her alone. You made our day special.  The food was very  good. 
The guide also. They love what they do. And the owner of the company in Isabell so relaxed. Great people also. 


We loved this trip! Great guide and wonderful sight seeing. From the boat we saw Mantas and Dolphins. In the water, we viewed a seahorse, sharks, eagle rays, and many turtles.  A quick walk on the tunnels for bird viewing and more turtle viewing. Good lunch and awesome crew. My favourite of our galapagos tours!

This is a must do when on San Cristobal! What an incredible day! Kicker Rock snorkeling is incredible! The guide was fantastic and so kind and knowledgeable . Recommend everyone take this tour!!

What a great trip! Los Tuneles is remarkable and the guide was wonderful, even taking our photo on the arch. We saw rays, sharks, sea turtles and so much more! What an incredible tour!

AMAZING! We saw sharks, ray, boobies and kayaked right along a penguin! The guide so so knowledgeable and great…we had a great time!!

The Los Tuneles tour with Agora Tours is outstanding! The crew is super kind and pleasant and they provided everything you could need. Not only did we see the ‘hopeful cast of characters’ like turtles and blue footed boobies, and other interesting fish and birds, we saw sharks, seahorse, and even dolphins swimming alongside the boat! Everyone might not be so lucky but it sure made the experience that much more amazing. And our guide Darwin’s energy and excitement about his work and beloved home was infectious. If you do only one organized trip in the Galapagos, it should be this one!

Agora tours isabela es la mejor opción para hacer sus excursiones! Las dos chicas que atienden y manejan la agencia son super amables y atentas, nos han ayudado muchisimo, el equipo que dan es excelente, la comida que te dan en las lanchas es riquísima y el precio lo vale completamente. Fuimos con mi pareja a pasar 7 días en galápagos y quedamos contentísimos!

The Agora tours trip to Los Tuneles, was our best tour on the islands. The staff was great, the trip was great and our naturalist Darwin, was fantastic.

We also rented bikes from them during our stay.

I highly recommend Agora Tours.

Agora was fantastic! I did four excursions with them, and they also set up my ferries between Santa Cruz and Isabela. Each of the experiences was amazing. They were very fast in responding to communications and very friendly and helpful. After having some issues with other tour operators on Santa Cruz, it was wonderful to have a friendly, reliable tour agency on Isabela. Don’t hesitate to use them—they are great!

Karen: Ferries, Los Tuneles, Tintoreras & 2x Volcano Tours

This was a great tour! Our guide and the boat crew were excellent. The morning hike was strenuous, but those who could not complete the hike had the option to go back to the boat early.  Lunch was great, and the snorkeling was fun! Agora tours were most helpful in responding to all our questions.

Bartolome & Sombrero Chino

This was a great tour! Although it was raining, we got to see Sierra Negra, but the best part was Volcan Chico. The hike is not that hard but the scenery is amazing. Would recommend this!

Sierra Negra

Die Organisation der Fähren hat sehr gut funktioniert, die Los Tuneles Tour war top, auch die Minen und Tintoreras hat uns gefallen! Was uns gar nicht gefallen hat ist, dass bei der Tortuga & Cuatro Hermanos Tour so viele Leute waren, dass die Gruppe geteilt wurde. Uns wurde jedoch nicht mitgeteilt, dass wir die Tour nun mit einem anderen Anbieter (Tropical Paradise) machen müssen - das haben wir erst bemerkt, als wir auf dem Boot waren. Wir waren wirklich sehr enttäuscht, weil die Crew von Tropical Paradise unserer Meinung nach viel schlechter war, als die von Agora (da wir ja den Vergleich von der Los Tuneles Tour hatten). Der Guide und die Crew von Agora waren aufmerksam, sehr bemüht, haben alles sehr gut erklärt und auch bei der Bootsfahrt immer wieder angehalten, wenn sie Tiere im Wasser gesehen haben - das fanden wir toll. Die Guide von Tropical Paradise hat während der Bootsfahrt geschlafen, wollte nur 2 Schnorchelspots machen (statt der versprochenen 3-5, wir mussten lange diskutieren, dass wir wenigstens 3 gemacht haben - und auch diese waren nichts Besonderes) und der Koch war richtig schlecht gelaunt und hat das die Gäste spüren lassen. Ich habe viel recherchiert und aufgrund der vielen positiven Bewertungen extra bei Agora gebucht. Dann - ohne es uns mitzuteilen - einfach an einen anderen Touranbieter weitergereicht zu werden, geht gar nicht und hat uns wirklich sehr verärgert. Wir sind von der Tortuga & Cuatro Hermanos Tour so enttäuscht, dass wir am liebsten unser Geld zurück hätten.

Nina: Ferries, Los Tuneles, Sulphur Mines, Tintoreras & Cuatro Herman 

Die 14 km lange Wanderung war durchaus anstrengend, aber es hat sich gelohnt. Die Aussicht war super wir haben noch einen gelben Leguan entdeckt. Insgesamt ist der Anbieter Agora Tours zu empfehlen.

An amazing snorkeling tour!! Incredibly beautiful and unique activity with a fantastic guide and very nice boat. The agency is wonderful to work with, very organized, excellent equipment and very kind. We highly recommend!

Pick-up from Pier

&nbsp;A boat ride between Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz) to Puerto Villamil (Isabela) takes about 2.5 hours, depending on the weather conditions. Hence, you can easily go for a day tour on the other island. There are two departures each day for all the boats on both islands. One departure is early in the morning at around 6 o'clock, while the other is around 2 o'clock. As a result, you can stay flexible in your planning.&nbsp;

Boat from Santa Cruz to Isabela

There is also a direct ferry connection between Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (San Cristobal) and Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz) which again takes about 2.5 hours and have departures in the early morning and the early afternoon.
There is no public ferry operating directly between San Cristobal and Isabela. However, you also should not waste 6 valuable hours of your stay in Galapagos on a ferry.&nbsp;
If you are visiting Isabela from San Cristobal, we recommend a layover in Puerto Ayora. Not only will it make your trip more relaxed, but you are able to visit the sights of Santa Cruz. If you have limited time but don't want to miss out on the beauty of Isabela, you can always chose one of the available air connections.
Be aware that there is a separate National Park fee of 10.00$ (non-residents) to enter Isabela. It must be paid in cash on the pier. Additionally, the operators of the taxi boats between the docks and the ferries will demand a small fee. (0.50$ p.P. in Puerto Ayora and 1.00$ p.P. in Puerto Villamil).

Boat from San Cristobal to Isabels

Please keep in mind that the sea around the Galapagos Islands is dominated by three big currents which can make the ocean go a little rougher then you might expect, especially during the months of June to October. Therefore, if you tent to get sea sick easily, take your medicine in advance and maybe pack a good rain jacket. Nevertheless, often people fall asleep on the boats due to the evenly rocking. Alternatively, you could book a plane ride in between the islands. Before doing so, please consider its impact on the fragile ecosystem of Galapagos.

Pre-Ferry Ride Preparation

&nbsp;You wont have to think about coordinating tickets with us. A few days before your arrival, we will inform you about the name of your boat and you will just have to board it. Please leave us a contact information, where we can reach you during your stay in Galapagos.&nbsp;
