Thank you so much for the cool advice!

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

No prob! Glad it was helpful

[@maturetraveller5683]

I arrived yesterday on Santa Cruz, my flight back is from Baltra again, but I will be os San Cristobal, so having to get back will make my stay shorter, bummer, I wish I had known one can fly back from San Christobal

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

Yeah that's a bummer indeed! Still, not the worst thing that could happen. Enjoy Galapagos!

[@mihirtrivedi3821]

Canadian Ptushkin as my opinion! Good job man

[@jennifertiitinen9006]

We want to not only dive as our main goal but also explore the islands

[@stephanieschwartz6674]

This video is so helpful, thank you for sharing! How were you able to get taxis everywhere? Were they just waiting around or did you have to call a company or something? Thanks!

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

yeah usually there are many of them are around, white trucks. you can always call them as well

[@bene2355]

Hey Oleg, I appreciate your video where you not only praise everything but also talk about your negative experiences. Thanks for the many advices! I‘m planning to go in December 2024

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

glad it was helpful, enjoy your trip!

[@peytonbirdgenaw6657]

I am planning my trip to the Galapagos and wanted to make sure Guayaquil is safe to travel to, can you let me know what you think? This video was very informative. Thank you :)

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

Can't say Guayaquil is the safe destination, you can check my previous video (go to Day 14 and 15 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3eVinWPeL55a68 ) or read my article about how safe Guayaquil is: mytrip2ecuador.com/is-guayaquil-safe-for-tourists/ . Enjoy your Galapagos trip!

[@yuliiarozhanska9582]

Hi Oleg, Thank you for so detailed itineraries! Could you please confirm which SIM card do you recommend using in Ecuador & Galapagos, the ESIM or a normal SIM? I found you referred to two source.. Thanks again!

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

Glad it was helpful. I've been travelling for 30 days throughout the Ecuador so I used local SIM from Movistar. ESIM was not working well.

[@Elaines-travels]

What month were you there?

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

It was October

[@paintedwolf44]

Great video... I'm doing a land tour to spare myself the logistics 🫠

[@prototype4876]

May I know which month was your visit ?

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

It was October

[@ClaudiaAstudillo-p3f]

I was told to only travel mid December to May if I want to see clear water conditions, instead of cloudy water. We want to travel in August. How did you decide which month to travel?

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

@@ClaudiaAstudillo-p3f Generally, you can travel to Galapagos any time of the year. Each month is unique. The ones that are warmer usually have way more people as well which is not good for some ppl.

[@AliRemy-zh6tj]

If you only had time to visit two of the islands, which one would you choose?

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

Isabela and San Cristobal islands

[@ddreyer7041]

What was the seasick medicine that you used while you traveled?

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

we used these ones: amzn.to/48RzaB8

[@johnybravo5667]

Hi, which island did you like more Santa Cruz or San Cristobal? If you had to choose to spend a few days only in one of these two?

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

I'd choose San Cristobal due to its proximity to the airport in this case. Also, I loved San Cristobal more than Santa Cruz.

[@johnybravo5667]

@@mytrip2somewhere564 Thanks.

[@paintedwolf44]

How do you use internet while on the islands?

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

it's extremely terrible out there, emails were loading for 3-5 minutes sometimes. I had local sim card

[@thefamouseugenekrabs]

Sea lions smell like a big protein fart but they're really entertaining with their antics and dramas.

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

haha true

[@ZhaoChang-e6c]

do you know if there is private water taxis I can take between Isabela Island and San Cristobal, or taking the plane is the only option?

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

I don't think there is such a boat, I'd recommend taking plane because two boat rides is not the way you want to spend your day at the Galapagos.

[@jennifertiitinen9006]

Looks like dead flora

[@mytrip2somewhere564]

The flora on the Galápagos Islands might appear "dead" or lifeless at certain times, especially during the dry season, but it’s not actually dead. The islands have a harsh, arid environment, and many plants have adapted to these conditions by going dormant during dry periods to conserve water. During these times, the vegetation can look brown, dry, and withered, which might give the impression that it's dead. However, when the rainy season returns, these same plants often burst back to life, turning green and vibrant again.
