i've been exploring santa cruz and isla isabela for the past few days but tomorrow morning im taking the early ferry to san cristobal to chill and relax before my flight saturday. any suggestions? id love to see like, the best places or take any suggestions that completely impressed you. i dont have any plans at all. i would like to just walk around and look. nothing extravagant, i dont want to do a full day tour or anything. i'd just like casual suggestions like a good beach or good restaurants or something that would make a great picture

traveling between santa cruz, isla isabela, and san cristobal the week of 8/10-8/15. i have xfinity mobile for my current phone plan and the unlimited premium plan has unlimited international coverage in ecuador. has anyone used this in the galapagos? to be safe ill call xfinity in advance to have my phone unlocked in case i need a local esim. but it would be nice if anyone knows how well the service works on the islands

good evening everyone! hope youre doing well. thanks for checking out my post. i always do a really big birthday trip and this year im doing peru, ecuador, and the galapagos! i didn't plan much of anything very well but flights are booked so im coming either way! my friends call me mr. make-it-happen. my question is, how do i approach the galapagos? i love doing tourist stuff and while i respect that there's always a deep cut or hidden gem, im perfectly okay doing the basics! so im wondering, with my flight booked, should i head to expedia, find a hotel, and start a detailed itinerary? or just find a four day tour on viator or tripadvisor or something? i don't even know where to begin picking what i want to do and frankly i get overwhelmed easily making these types of plans! it could be a lot easier to book the tour. plus id like to believe they'd pick all the best, touristy spots for me! but if the general consensus is that i can do everything on my own with some planning, id really really appreciate some pointers and advice! thank you for reading!
