How Ecuador and the Galapagos Reopened

Touring Galapagos celebrates the recent reopening of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, many of our Small Luxury Yachts are offering huge discounts as they resume navigation through the Enchanted Islands as well as our new normal in an ongoing pandemic.

Ecuador is open and welcoming visitors. Ecuador resumed commercial flights in June, and U.S. travelers are allowed to enter the country with proof of a negative COVID PCR test taken within 10 days of arrival. Those able to provide such results, and who are not demonstrating any symptoms, will be exempt from quarantining and able to move freely throughout the country—except for in the Galapagos Islands, where entry for which all travelers, Ecuadorian and otherwise, requires a negative PCR test taken within 96 hours of arrival (health insurance and a health declaration form are also required). Travelers entering Ecuador without negative test results will have the option to take a test at the airport, at their own expense, and will need to quarantine at a hotel, until negative results are received. Within the country, many hotels and restaurants have reopened, with restrictions. Many vendors are offing safer options and significant discounts on smaller 16 Pax yachts on both shared and chartered departures.
