After spending two days in Guayaquil trying to find the best cruise / boat trip combination, I still didn't know what would be the best option for me in order to visit the islands. One problem was that most cruise tours focus on selling the ship's facilities and comfort (or lack of them) and didn't want to commit to a route / tour of what you will see of Galápagos. Difficult were also the dates and length of the trips available; and their price. At the end I decided to go for island hopping (no cruise) and explore the islands "from land", aware that this will not provide the "full Gapalagos experience", but will help me decide next time when I come back to explicitly visit these islands; and I will!
