Galápagos

Language

  • The official language of the Galápagos Islands is Spanish. While some people in the tourism industry speak English, knowing a few basic Spanish phrases will be helpful and appreciated by locals.

Time Zone

  • The Galápagos Islands operate on Galápagos Time, which is 1 hour behind mainland Ecuador. That makes it 1 hour ahead of Salt Lake City’s Mountain Time (when not observing Daylight Saving Time).

Electricity

  • The Galápagos uses Type A and B outlets with a standard voltage of 120V, similar to the U.S. You likely won’t need a power adapter if you're coming from the States, but it’s always good to double-check your devices.

Climate

  • The climate is tropical and varies slightly throughout the year. February is typically warm and wet, with average highs around 86°F (30°C) and lows around 76°F (24°C). Lightweight, breathable clothing and rain gear are recommended.

Health

Currency

  • The official currency is the U.S. Dollar (USD), so you won’t need to exchange money if you're coming from the U.S. Small bills are preferred, especially on the smaller islands where change can be limited.

Transportation

  • Most travel between islands is by boat or small plane. On land, taxis and walking are the main ways to get around in towns. Guided tours are recommended for exploring natural sites and protected areas.

Safety

  • The Galápagos is generally very safe, but always stay on marked paths and follow park rules to protect yourself and the fragile ecosystem. Watch your belongings in busy areas like ports and markets.

Local Cuisine

  • Seafood is a highlight here—try ceviche, grilled fish, and lobster in season. Ecuadorian staples like rice, plantains, and fresh fruit are also common. Many restaurants offer fresh, locally sourced dishes.

Cultural Etiquette

  • Be respectful of local customs and the environment. Follow the guidance of your tour guides, and always greet people with a friendly “hola” (hello) or “buenos días” (good morning). A simple “gracias” (thank you) goes a long way.

Tipping

  • Tipping isn’t mandatory but is appreciated. In restaurants, a 10% tip is customary for good service. Tour guides and boat crews also appreciate small tips for their work and hospitality

Our Happy Clients

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

- Jose Ruiz

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

- Richard Leake

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 Paris tour was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Pedro, was spectacular. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He treated us like family. The tour was a happy balance between guided sightseeing tours and free time. We had so much fun that we can't wait to see what other tours Evolution35 offer.

- Kenneth S Davis

Our Happy Clients

Absolutely loved my travel experience to Paris with Evolution 35. Everything was meticulously planned and well organized. Our tour guide, Pedro, was the best. We will definitely be traveling with them again.

- Tammy Cooper

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 made our dream vacation come true! Great package price inclusive of airfare, 5
star hotel, transportation, meals, and excursions. I did not have to do anything. Everything
was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
