- After being at the top of our South America bucket list we HAD to get ourselves to the Galapagos Islands. We are staying for the next few days on Isabella Island and thought we would share with you guys how to get there on your own (no tour, no guide). Warning: The Galapagos Islands are rather expensive to get to!!

We are both 110% excited to be here! You know us... we love us some animals...and especially unique ones which we will be showing you in tomorrows vlog! In case you missed yesterday's video where we got up and close with some Amazonian ones, check it here: czcams.com/video/-tf0Lyl8c3c/video.html
"We love us some animals" but you apparently didn't love your teachers well enough to master the basics of English grammar. It will be you and your type who ruin those islands. And the natives need the money too much to say: "NO." The wild tortoises have been dwindling and dwindling, I expect they're almost gone by now. But that's OK since you "love you some animals." I'd be curious how much time you spent....hiking in the mountains of Scotland and exploring the native fauna and flora there before you decided that the scope of your interest in zoology had to expand to the Galapagos.
I am 47. You both give me hope for the future generation ....Smart, Funny, Humble, Adventurous and....always with a Purpose!
Wholesome
I recently just got back from a two week trip to the galapagos and seeing this video made me tear up. this is one of the most beautiful places on earth! i miss it so much
aww so glad to hear that you made it out there and had an awesome time :)
its good that they made it complicated to get there. otherwise people would use it for their beach holidays and ruin the atmosphere. thanks for your video!
true
They didn't 'make' it hard, this is just the case for low stages of tourism.
This is the absolute best Galapagos vlog we've seen yet. Loved the intro..... knowing the $$$ .. and my gawd that tortoise was huuuggeee! - Trevor
aww thanks guys really means a lot! I think it's definitely worth coming out here but only if you are very into wildlife as it costs a lot to come here!
The Fun Facts With Jess really made it all clear. This is a place you have to visit once. I wasn't aware of these facts, so thanks for sharing! Enjoy Galapagos.
Thank you guys for sharing the 'behind the scene' take on how to get the places I know being a traveller that that is probably not the times when you feel like filming cause your always tired and its tricky with security but it is honestly so help to show everything and not only the perfect travel clips as this will help anklet people know what to expect if they were to travel there !
I just hear this word in. Daydream Galapagos and i just love watching this😍😍
Wow! This is very interesting! I did not have this on my bucket list so I’m glad you video taped this “lesson”🙂
Wow, thanks for this great video and sharing your experience! I'm hoping to visit the Galapagos for my honeymoon in the next couple years and this gives great perspective on what to expect 😁 cheers!
Oh wow! Huge congrats and you guys will have the best time! Maybe if it's for a honeymoon look at doing one of the luxury cruises that take you around
Just subscribed! Great video I’m glad to say I’m from the Galápagos Islands but currently living in the US, if you guys ever end up n Galápagos again, make sure to visit the San Cristobal Island it’s so much more to do!
Great video guys. We are planning to travel to Galapagos, so this video is valuable for us. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to hear that guys 😊
OH.MY.GOSH!!! I was hoping Galápagos Islands was gonna be on this trip!!! Eeek! So stinkin excited! 😍
hehe so glad we could make it happen :)
Great video you two! Wow neat fun facts! I enjoyed this! Have a great week! 🤗
The details about the travel and expenses were very helpful!
What an amazing place the Galapagos island are , you guys are so lucky to have the opportunity to visit such beautiful places in the world.I was in awe of all the animals you saw in such a small place.x
Galapagos has been at the top of our bucket list for SOOO long and we feel so fortunate to be able to experience a place like this. A trip we won't forget!
Amazing video! I was there a week ago, and it is amazing to see that things have not changed.
You guys are very entertaining and informative! Keep up the good work
Thank you very much for the vlog you both show us. I really like it.
Amazing video!
I really Wanna viset the Galpagos Islands
Bucket list for sure! Awesome content guys
I made a lifelong dream come true visiting in 2016. You are correct about the expense, I went through about £1500 in 2 weeks but it was worth it.
One thing I would advise people to do is go scuba diving, especially if you have never done it before.
Very unique place! Looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Crazy how much you have to keep paying for every boat/taxi. 🏆🦎🦎🦎
I know right - a very pricey place to visit! But it's such a unique, awesome destination
Oh how amazing!! Galapagos Islands are definitely one of my top bucket list places to visit. I am so excited to see the next video. I love this video and thanks for showing the cost of every thing.
We were surprised at how much everything ads up during a visit here!! Love taking you all along with us on these adventures!
Flying The Nest Awhile back I looked up flights from Colorado and the prices to get to islands and everything was so much. I was like yeah, it will be awhile before I can afford to get there. 😂 so for now I can enjoy your Galapagos videos until I can!!
Thanks for all the travel tips and prices 😊😊😊
Galapagos 😍 Hi 👋 from Guayaquil Ecuador 🇪🇨
Thanks for great video. I really would love to go to the Galapagos.
Very lucky guys!!!
My group wanted to visit when we were in South America. It was SO expensive!! Jealous to bits....
It's been a while since I commented. Have more fun guys!!
Thanks for commenting :) appreciate your support terrence
I am surprised that those magnificent islands don't have any tourists , thank you for sharing your video .
Thanks for your videos. Love them and you both. 😁
Thanks for sharing this video. I really enjoyed video. Also, subscribed your channel. Galapagos is my travel destination. Last year, I had visited Baltra,Bartolome,Chinese Hat,Española,Isabela,Mosquera and San Cristobal. I visited there with the help of Tip Top Cruises.
The color of the water is unbelievable, haven't seen this color anywhere
Looks extremely beautiful. Wish I could go there one day
Thank you for this very helpful vlog.
Glad to hear you found it helpful 😁
Great video guys keep it up like this greetings from london
2020☺️
I am going this summer to Quito and Galapagos, I can’t wait! I bought my tickets today!
.... and is going to be really expensive 😅
Hey, I am researching and learning it is expensive hearing that $200 park fee. What else is expensive about it?
It's expensive to get there (flight, entry fees etc), but once you get there, you can get by on a slim budget. Accommodations (basic and not fancy) can be found for cheap, and restaurant food is surprisingly reasonable. If you plan out your own itinerary you can save a lot of money. Where it gets expensive are for those who fly there and then join the cruise groups and stay on the cruise boats. Spending time on land is much more affordable and you will get a better experience of the place. Spend time to do some research and it will pay off when you get there. Also if you plan to do some tours, you can also save money by NOT pre-booking on-line (and pre-pay) any tour (e.g. from Santa Cruz to Isabella). At Puerto Ayora, (the biggest town, located on Santa Cruz Island), there are tour companies where prices are negotiable (and always cheaper than online prepaid).
Galapagos is expensive! I'm from Ecuador and I've never gone there but I would love 🙌
@@belfordvalverde9421 Well, to get to Gapapagos even from Ecuador it requires a flight from either Quito of Guayaquil and that flight is only handled by 2 airlines with cost about $400 USD, plus the entry fees $20 and $100. But once those fees are out of the way and you have arrived there, the rest of the trip is not any more expensive than staying as a tourist in e.g. Quito. As I mentioned, the hotels (not fancy ones) are very reasonably priced, and eating out is cheap. I had a great lunch in Puerto Ayora with seafood soup and lunch main course (1/2 spiny lobster with salad and rice) all for $5.00 USD. And if you stay away from those $$$ cruise packages, the trip would be definitely affordable. The key to keeping the budget under control is to plan out your own itinerary. Stay away from the cruises packages - they are designed to rip off the foreign tourists.Even the Ecuadorian government don't like these cruise companies, because the money doesn't filter down into supporting the local economy.
@@iiAngelic The fee is $20 when you depart at the airport (either Quito or Guayaquil) and then $100 upon entry at Galapagos
Oh yay, you guys. that's on my bucket list too
what an amazing place! by the way, i love fun facts with jess : )
Have you ever been to Seychelles? Amazing nature and there's plenty of those tortoises there! You can even feed them, scratch their neck etc. on some places like the Curieuse Island, where there's sort of a sanctuary made for them. And man - they're huge! :)
No we havent actually! We actually considered the Seychelles for our wedding destination at one point so we do want to go there!
We spent our honeymoon there this June, definitely worth visiting! Maybe little different than the Maldives as the main islands are bigger with lot of hills and tropical forest everywhere (as far as I can tell, haven't been to Maldives yet, hopefully we're going in April next year :)
Love your channel! Even if you didn't volunteer at the end... wher did you find all the information to do it? tryng to volunteer as well
THIS IS SOOOOO INCREDIBLE
wow, great video you guys! I can't wait to get there! some more practical info would be great. Otherwise amazing stuff, really!
I went to Floreana in The Galapagos 4 months ago! There were only 70 people living there! So cool seeing the airport, ferry and port again! Defo try and go snorkelling or diving if you can. Also, where I was there were flamingoes and penguins so look for them! Can wait to see what else you do :D
My profile picture is me on the bus on Santa Maria btw.
oh thats awesome that you made it out there! What did you get up to on Florena? I feel like there is so much more to see of the islands!
Ah what a place to visit, only makes me want to go more!!!
I live in Isabela is very expensive but it’s very beautiful
What time of year did you go? My hunch is I should go Dec-Jan when it’s winter for me. Very informative and awesome as always
It seems not very hot there. I expected they had a generally warm climate due to the proximity to the equator.
It's actually more expensive for foreigners than nationals to go to the galapagos.
Love your vlogs :)!!
@flyingthenest have you went to Guayaquil? It has a park just for the iguana. If you’re interested I can send you photos and maybe you can go visit again!
Yo viendo como ellos visitan las islas galápagos
Quedándome en quito
Espera saben español '_'
You will have an iguana-a-day calendar by the end of your trip to go with your seal-a-day calendar
Money, money, money!! Wow what a trip to get there poor Jess your tummy must have been leaping on that boat ride xxx M & D
She had a moment!
Loved this video! Did you use US dollars to pay for all taxis/ ferries? And did you book the in advance? Xx
Hello !!!!!!😀👍🏿
I love Galapagos! We once saw some turtles there!!!awesome!!! Thanks!
Ah, reminds me of my trip there in the mid-1990s. Back in the day when you needed rolls of 35 mm film. :D
Really nice video! 💯😍
For turist from another country might get expensive but for people from Ecuador its a lot cheaper .Still great video a unique place you visited
1:40 I thought you were gonna give us the finger hahahahaah
haha NEVER!
AWESOME!
Are you guys going to catch up with MoreJStu bevause you are going to Colorado?
I wonder if they will go to Victoria in their road trip adventure - we've got some good seals
Molto bello Galápagos!
Looooove Fun Facts With Jess:))
Galápagos ❤
My dream place ☹️❤️
holy CRAP I thought everything was going smoothly until I saw the $200 park fee!!!
This made me so sad only because every bit they did was what I did when I went and I miss it sm
I hope youtube will add interactive features, such as we can react wow or heart to the part of the clip.
Maybe you could help answer this question. I'd certainly appreciate it if you could try. How do I make sure I will be able to enter the Galapagos without exceeding the tourist limitations? I keep reading that there are limits to the number of tourists in the Galapagos, but I see no place to find out whether I am going to exceed that limit. For example, how do I know that, once I get off the plane at Baltra or San Cristobal, I will not be told that I have to turn around because I am exceeding the number of tourists? I am traveling on my own, no guide.
Great viewing !!!
Registration online for tourist is impossible! How did you register?
How much did you paid to get to island? $800us?
Thanks.
cool place to visit👍
OMG 😱 sooo expensive! And those food portions are little! I would need two of those!
And the tortoise is saying “ whoa people!!”.
watching a 3 hour special on nat geo wild brought me here ... i didnt know there was vehicles there AND people living there ... where does the electricity come from ???
Nice to travel every place but how much cost your travel
oMG. WOOOOW. huhuhuhuh.. so amazing..
Very Nice, I was surprised at how much it cost. A question, do they regulate the number of tourists or do you feel it is just a tourist trap so to speak.Looking forward to more from there.
I honestly don't know if they regulate the tourists! TBH i'm not sure if this was busy or quiet season but there were not a lot of tourists there! Plus a lot of people go on cruises around the island so we might've missed them!
Yes, they do
I LOVE ECUADOR
Can you give an approximate breakdown of your 1,200 USD of expenses to get from Ecuador to the Galapagos? The numbers I'm seeing don't add up to that.
Very nice I will go there
Idk if it was yours but I found a snickers on the wall of tears when I was there last week😂😂
Entirely Facinating
such a unique place!!
I want to go to the Galapagos so badly, but that investment to get there is pretty hefty! I think animals are worth it though!
Its definitely worth it. I live close to the Galapagos- in Quito. I moved from Chicago to Ecuador. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.
When were you there?
Why didn't you just fly to Isabella? That was a long journey from quito
I love it Galapagos. From India
Amazing
Cuesta mucho
great galapagos, i too post about my exper....from india.
Didn’t you start this trip with two small and two large backpacks? I feel like I am only seeing one big backpack now. Am I crazy?
you have to go to Komodo Island
This is the best video about Galapagos that I ever saw it! Thank you guys! U both are so Charismatic! Good job! Lord Jesus bless you!
This makes us so happy Luiz! So glad to hear it :)
sooo goood vediooooooooooooooooooo
2018 - no ATMs on Isabella Island. Lol
Come to Mexico!
See ya this Friday.
Which island was the tortoise?
How if you run out cash or local currency in the middle of the trip?
The first major island we were on (Not the airport one) Santa Cruz is a tourist hot spot that has ATM's - its just Isabella island that we were staying on didnt have any!
