Boat to Isabela Island

One thing we have learnt here in Galapagos is that you have to pay for everything. Entering the jetty, leaving the jetty, the tender to the boat, the tender off the boat, an arrival tax of $20 USD at Isabela - and all in cash!
On arrival at the jetty at Porta Ayora we saw seals 🦭 , crabs 🦀 and some tiny 🦎 iguanas.
The boat ‘New Ocean’ was one of the better ones with proper seats 💺 - and life jackets. It was one hell of a rocky trip so I just put my head phones on, listened to music and tried to zone out. We dosed up on anti nausea tablets and travel calms, and I didn’t feel sick at all.
It was overcast on arrival - but Isabela is definitely more quiet than Santa Cruz - it’s lovely so far!Read more
