CloseDescription:
The hub of the Galapagos, Puerto Ayora (Admiralty Bay) is the largest town and the main tourist center, with a wide range of hotels, restaurants, shops and internet cafes. Puerto Ayora has the best options for chandlery and repairs.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
Academy Bay is open to the south-east, which is the direction of the prevailing winds, but these rarely blow with any strength and even at the height of the south-east trade wind season, between June and the end of August, the swell in the anchorage is bearable.
Cruiser Highlights:
More stores and more tourists. Visit the turtles, volcano tunnels and the old caldera.
Position: 00° 44.9’S, 90° 18.43’W (anchorage)

Important information for all cruisers who are planning to visit Galapagos Islands: when choosing the agent never ever go for Ronny Sanches, Tironne S.A. We have a very bad experience in March 2018, our passports as well as boat passport was stolen from his office and he even didn’t inform us about that immediately. His phone numbers and office address are wrong in his business card and it was very difficult to cooperate with him.
in fact we traveled in the month of October, and that agent took care of us perfect, besides that we saved budget, unlike other local agents of galapagos.
