Hello, for this trip does it make sense to spray your clothes with permethrin for mosquito and insect protection? Also, should I plan to wear long sleeves for sun and insect protection? How about long pants versus shorts? Thank you!
We will be arriving in the morning of the day prior to flying out of Guayaquil for the Galapagos and the Isabella II. We are staying at the Wyndham Guayaquil Puerto Santa Ana which I presume is where prior Cruising the Galapagos tours have stayed prior to and after the Galapagos cruise. Any suggestions for things to do,…
I believe that for the days on board the Isabella II and on the Galapagos Islands not much, or any, money will be needed. We will arrive at Guayaquil early on the day prior to disembarking for the Isabella II and then there will be the final day back at Guayaquil. Any recommendations for what amount of cash it makes sense…

Anyone travel on the Isabela recently? Planning a journey late December. I’m a little concerned about motion sickness on a small ship. Also, since it’s an older ship and hasn’t been refurbished recently any feedback on cabin conditions or overall ship appearance would be helpful. Thank you.
We will be on "Cruising the Galapagos Islands" in December aboard the Isabella II. We are striving for carry-on only, which likely means doing some laundry. I understand that there are no laundry facilities on the ship. Are there clotheslines in the bath or shower? Also, do magnetic hooks work on the cabin walls? We found…
We are on "Cruising the Galapagos Islands" starting on 11/30, and received notification that our itinerary has been altered due to government closures for Avian Flu which has been identified in local birds.
