Santa Cristobal <> Isabela Ferry Schedules

There’s not a direct boat connecting these two islands so you will need to:

• Start with the morning boat from either San Cristobal or Isabela.
• Stop at Santa Cruz
• Finish the second route in the afternoon arriving at San Cristobal or Isabela at 5:00 pm approx.

If you decide to do it this way, we have facilities in Santa Cruz where you can store your luggage while you explore the town and wait for the second ferry. Book now!

Please note that all the boats from all the companies have the same schedules and those are controlled by the Ecuadorian Army

Ferry ticket prices in the Galapagos Islands

Inter-island ferry tickets are available for $38 USD on our website, where you can conveniently pay by credit card or PayPal.

We work hard to book your seats only with the more comfortable boats and the most reliable operators. But we understand that everyone has a different budget and different priorities, so you can book now online with us or wait and try to do it when you get to the islands.

You might find cheaper deals in town (ranging from $30 to $35) but you will need to pay cash and you won’t be able to secure your seats in advance.

During weekends or high seasons, ferries often sell out, particularly the most popular or premium boats. Booking ahead ensures peace of mind and avoids disappointment when schedules are busy.
