The only bad experience I had wasn’t with the hotel itself but with the agency they use for guest accommodations. I contacted them about airport transport and was told to message their agency SUP Tours. They tried to charge $35 for a $3 taxi ride. When I told them this was very expensive I was sent a long disrespectful reply telling me I shouldn’t visit the Galapagos if I don’t have the budget for it....

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best area to stay in San Cristobal?

The best area to stay in San Cristobal is Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, which is the capital of the Galápagos Province and the main port on the island.

This town is the primary hub for visitors arriving on San Cristobal. It's easily walkable, with most hotels, restaurants, and tour operators situated along the waterfront promenade, known as the Malecón, and extending a few blocks inland. Key landmarks include the Interpretation Centre and the main pier where boats depart for excursions.

For couples seeking a relaxing yet engaging holiday, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is an excellent choice. You can enjoy strolls along the Malecón, dine at waterfront restaurants with views of the harbour, and easily access day trips to Kicker Rock or Isla Lobos. The proximity to La Lobería beach, known for its sea lions, also offers a great experience.

Solo travellers will also find Puerto Baquerizo Moreno highly convenient. The concentration of tour agencies makes it simple to join group excursions, and there are many cafes and eateries where you can enjoy a meal or a drink.

When is the best time to go to San Cristobal?

The best time to go to San Cristobal is during the warm-wet season from December to May.

During these months, the weather is generally sunny with occasional heavy showers, and the average air temperature is around 26°C. The ocean is also at its warmest, with temperatures around 25°C, making it ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and diving. The seas are typically calmer during this period, which can lead to a more comfortable experience for boat excursions around the island and to nearby dive sites.

This season is particularly good for those interested in marine life viewing. The warmer waters bring an abundance of fish, making underwater visibility excellent for observing colourful reef fish, sea turtles, and various rays. For those looking to see land birds, many species are nesting during this time, offering great opportunities for birdwatching.

Alternatively, the cool-dry season from June to November offers a different experience. While the air temperatures are slightly cooler, averaging 22°C, and the water temperatures drop to around 20°C, this period is known for its nutrient-rich currents. These currents attract larger marine animals, such as whales and the famous Galápagos penguins, which are more active during these months. If your primary interest is seeing these specific animals, this cooler season might be more appealing.

Ultimately, your choice depends on your priorities. For warm, sunny weather and excellent general marine life viewing, the warm-wet season is best.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in San Cristobal.

How much is the nightly rate at a San Cristobal hotel?

Prices for hotels in San Cristobal often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $50 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
