Galapagos Dec 2017 - Guayaquil Day trips

I'm on the same trip. Greatly looking forward to it. I arrive one day early, but don't expect to have a lot of energy for extra exploring. I also don't know the 'lay of the land' in Guayaquil. But, teaming up sounds like a good idea.

I would agree with Alan on Guayaquil, the one good thing about going to the Galápagos Islands is that it is only about an hour different in time to the US east coast, so at least jet lag is not an issue. You get awoken at 6am by a ship announcement that starts at low volume and gradually gets louder.

Hi! I am going on the Dec 2017 trip, arriving a few days early. Anyone interested in joining me for a couple of day trips? One day in the city and one day at a Hacienda in the country.

It is a great tour. His October post was his first and only, smdeisinger hasn't been back since. You are better off reading the archives or hope that someone else weighs in but since British and I were the only ones to initially respond to this thread don't get your hopes up in Guayaquil. There just isn't a lot to say about it- it is just a city with few points of interest.

How did you find out about a day trip to Cocoa Plantation? We are going on Jan. 27 to Guayquil and would love to do that!

Thank you! I'll look into day trips from Guayaquil!
