Where to fly for galapagos
How To Get To The Galapagos Islands
first off huh yep good morning everybody
and welcome back to Ecuador I don't
think I wipe this smile of my face of
acres today we're heading to the
laughing gas
oh my gosh this is such a bucket list
and I feel really happy that we get to
go here I want to take you guys along on
this journey because it's a little bit
of a complication to get to these
islands yes starting at all yeah we're
starting it off at the domestic airport
here it's the first thing you need to do
is you need to come to this immigration
counter just here and we need to get a
visa which is about 20 u.s. each and you
have to do it before you check your
luggage awesome so we have our visa card
with you on that you then go into that
door to get the luggage
you can't bring any for Eagle seeds or
anything on the island now we have to go
check into our flights and hope we made
it so we have really bad traffic today
you know we're running late and we have
better breakfast and I want to coffee
baggage check thing coffee - dance so
technically we're business premium a
common Pacific
Jannis thinking is that we are currently
at 2900 meters above sea level and wait
I don't have a window seat can't film
outside me guys but we'll see
quick stopover still hunger this strange
thing that I really think happens in
South America where you just stop stay
on the plane not your stuff move on
but I feel like this like should be
empty
[Music]
- folk island everybody
so once he landed we thought you know
the the visa to get us here was enough
but no you have to pay 800 US dollar
park fee also that just as strict as
Australia here with bringing fruit
animals nuts everything into this island
we then all wait behind this white line
for the sniffer dog can go check that
out luggage
oh my gosh that's so cool she's like war
not from Australia don't you actually
walk all over our bags the baggage
handlers yong-chol a focus I feel sorry
for the dog just enough to smell a lot
dirty laundry ok we can go never wanted
to cross a line more than we aren't
there yet because vulture Island is a
Airport Island we have to catch a bus to
the ferry terminal
okay I did enjoy for that quick 15
minutes paying nothing here in the
islands let's back to pain with me a
dollar on this ferry to get across to
Santa Cruz Friday welcome to Santa Cruz
Island everybody now there's two ways
you can cross the island 15 either just
drive across the gets in town one is a
box 2 is a taxi we need to catch a taxi
because we actually have a theory that
we need to get to in 55 minutes we've
been assured we're gonna make it
fingers crossed we make it otherwise
that's the last ferry for the day also
the taxis are these pickup trucks so the
bus is cheaper I can't actually remember
I'll put it up here for you guys but the
the taxis about 25 us
muchas gracias thank you thank you
I can't believe we made it it's like
five minutes to spare but now have to
catch a water taxi to our boat bodies
first for the Galapagos were out live
from one boat to another
we made it to the island of Isabella
can't even get off the jetty crazy how
much you have to pay but we're here now
in Isabella Island and that was the
bumpiest boat ride of my entire life
and it was almost three hours long that
was the most insane
I've ever heard oh this is why we've
come to the Galapagos hey buddy we gon
we gon you found a little hole wow
that's so cool what a greeting yeah I
heard a big sneeze closest alliance
you guys are very cute
oh just good like no Gorga big wanna
solid what the hell are there's like so
many of them just chilly yeah iguanas
wow that's cool just at the entrance
it's after mid 1600 around 1600
Australian dollars just to get to
galapagos from ecuador i mean that's not
even counting flights actually get to
south mary it can be actually quite
expensive so if you are wanting to come
here you probably know why you want to
come here it's for the wildlife that
yeah that's that's not even including
accommodation of food and tours to to
explore the island it is an expensive
place to visit I will say that good
morning everybody and welcome to the
Isle Isabella here in the Galapagos we
kind of kind of crashed after that in
st. boat ride to get here but here's a
beautiful sunny day let's go show you're
out
so even though this is like the biggest
island here in the Galapagos this is the
like least inhabited island this like
2,500 people that live here this is the
town this is it it's like a lot of
little restaurants a lot of schewe
companies and a couple of mini months
that's basically it which is really cool
but I'm hungry yeah it's got the lunch
that sounds like a plan
cuz we need to find some tortoises we're
here the Galapagos that's the number one
thing we need to go and find wildlife
especially especially tortoises so they
have a lot of these restaurants along
the side of the road
kind of like Bali it reminds me and
we've gone for a bit of a seafood snack
because we're going on a hike later yah
Mon Calamari oh yeah I got some calamari
so we're the same thing they weren't
lying it is an iguana crossing oh wow
just look how many there are
oh wow hey guys there's so many of them
so we're gonna go see the turtle
breeding center tomorrow but at the
moment we're going on a bit of a five
kilometer hike see how we go on this
hike
I don't even last thing we did any sort
of exercise I do Inca Trail yeah also
guys I know that meal looks so basic but
I'm so full and the seafood here is
insane over guys it's crazy this is the
beach and there is no tourists
[Music]
[Music]
I didn't even know that poisonous trees
were a thing not touching this doesn't
even look like it looks dead like it's
just death bringing with it I'm good I
hope this means that there's some
tortoises nearby goodness guys we've
seen oh wow Sylar buddy
such a bucket list this has made it all
worth it coming out here seeing these
guys in the wild I think you can tell
how big hey Bobby this is so cool this
is I can't even like put into
perspective how big this dude is in
videos you can never tell how big they
actually oh that's me they want to talk
to anyone that's insane hey big this guy
is like his foot is probably like the
size of my fort wow that's so cool and
look at these paws like I think as we've
been working with sea turtles who have
flippers but this guy has like big old
dinosaur feet
[Music]
guys we made it to the end of our little
hike this is called the wall of tears
because back in the day there was some
prisoners that lived on the island and
they had to build this wall penitentiary
colony and they built it and I think
maybe they were crying when they were
building it so they called and this is
just they've they got rid of everything
except this wall in memory of how bad
the prisoners were treated it's a great
big wall to be honest
Wow this lava rocks well this little
dude that's really cool but now that
we've made it every time we hike or
something we always have a Snickers to
celebrate tada
guys I don't know what I was expecting
in the Galapagus but I wasn't expecting
that's like a desolate wasteland with
cacti everywhere like this is insane oh
my goodness they're everywhere oh my
gosh this one's huge
we've come down to the beach to watch
the sunset and all the seeds are being
taken in tomorrow can can you scooch
over a bit Oh No we'll have to find
another spot
you just want to Pat them but you know
you can't give them a scratch like a dog
they are caught see dogs aren't they
sea lions girl like don't people call
them like the dogs of the talked to the
sea when we came to the Galapagos we had
we didn't poop on this place we didn't
look it up we honestly loved to travel
to come here and then you get everything
out as we like explore and honestly if
I'd describe the Galapagos its the
Northern Territory of Australia meets
the mountain
but you can have this barren wasteland
then you have this island life that is
giving us such melodies vibes but then
it doesn't look like it it's a very
unique place I can see why people come
here because it's not like anything
you've seen before
one in the globe with some fun facts
food yes okay so before we came I wasn't
actually I hadn't looked at no photos
are no videos because we kind of wanted
to be surprised but I was reading up and
they say that the Galapagus was never
ever connected with a continent which
means this is always in secluded so the
only animals that really got over here
were marine life birds and reptiles
so no mammals are on the island besides
the ones that humans have now brought
over which means it's kinda like the
prehistoric times where the reptiles
ruled the place
that's a reversal parka that would just
mean we're literally just about right
now and one more thing
this is a place Charles Darwin came and
do a lot of youth research for his
theory of evolution that's really cool
because so many of these animals here
have been separated from the mainland
for so long that they've been helped to
evolve into what they are now and I'm
here that's my little fun facts for the
video I hope I'm right with all that I
can enjoyed fun facts with Jess and I
hope you enjoyed this video
yes a lot more from us from the graph I
guess yeah we're gonna show you guys
around and
little
