About Galápagos National Park visitor rules

The Galápagos National Park asks every visitor to keep two metres from wildlife, cameras included; not to touch or feed animals; to photograph without flash and fly no drones; to walk only on marked trails; to visit protected areas with a licensed guide; and to use marine-friendly sun protection. Smoking, alcohol and campfires are not allowed on the sites.

Why it's on our list

  • Two metres from the wildlife
  • No flash, no drones
  • Always with a licensed guide

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Galápagos National Park visitor rules before you go.
