It would help if you took the earliest flight possible on the first training day or, ideally, arrived one day before.

Drop off at Baltras Airport will be around 10 am on the last training day, so make sure you have a flight booked at least 2 hours later.

After such an experience in Galapagos, you might not want to leave. It's okay; you don't have to! We can help you arrange to stay longer or visit other enchanted locations in other Islands, the Amazon, and the Ecuadorian Andes, before or after the retreat.
