Ferry for inter-island trips.

Ferry transportation between the Galapagos Islands

The ferry between islands in the Galapagos, also known as a speedboat, is a frequent and economical means of transport that connects the islands of Santa Cruz, Isabela, San Cristóbal, and Floreana, with daily routes and fixed schedules in the morning and afternoon.

Important Note: There is no direct ferry between Isabela and San Cristóbal, so it is necessary to make a stop in Santa Cruz. This journey can take up to 9 hours in total, so it is recommended to take an inter-island flight, which lasts only 40 minutes and offers a much more comfortable and faster option for this route.
