Since the declaration of a global emergency Ecuador, including the Galapagos Islands, took rapid and strict measures to control the spread of the virus, both on the mainland and the Islands. With these measures, the government of Ecuador decided to open the borders on June 1st. For entering the country you have to follow the protocols and health measures guarantee the health security of passenger operations. Galapagos will reopen on July 1st.

For this reason we do not expect any changes for our planned special shark conservation dive departures in July, August and September. IF there are any restrictions on travel for your country we have agreed with our vessel operators that you will be able to book later in this season, or next season as required. Your booking fees and payments will be respected in their totality and you will be given priority over all new bookings with as much flexibility as possible within the dates already reserved for the coming year.

Furthermore you do NOT have to pay a deposit for reservation.
