Galapagos Islands Hotels FAQs

Which island on Galapagos is the best to stay?

It depends on your travel style and interests.

  • Santa Cruz is the most popular choice for first-time visitors due to its central location, variety of hotels, and easy access to day tours.
  • San Cristóbal offers a more relaxed atmosphere with excellent wildlife viewing right from town.
  • Isabela is perfect for nature lovers and beachgoers, offering a quieter, less developed experience.
  • Floreana is ideal for those seeking off-the-grid solitude, though lodging options are limited.

Each destination offers unique experiences, so your choice of hotels in Galapagos Islands should reflect the type of trip you want—adventurous, relaxing, or immersive in nature.

Can tourists stay on the Galapagos Islands?

Yes, tourists can stay on several of the inhabited islands, including Santa Cruz, San Cristóbal, Isabela, and Floreana. These destinations offer a range of Galapagos Islands hotel options, from budget-friendly guesthouses to luxury eco-lodges. Land-based stays are a great alternative to cruises, allowing for more flexible itineraries and opportunities to explore local communities and culture.

What is the best time of year to visit the Galapagos?

The Galapagos Islands are a year-round destination, with two main seasons:

  • Warm/Wet Season (December–May): Hotter temperatures, calmer seas, and great snorkeling conditions.

The best time to book Galapagos hotels depends on what kind of weather and wildlife experiences you’re looking for, as both seasons offer excellent opportunities.
