Visitor site · San Cristóbal Island
San Cristóbal Airport, Galápagos: one kilometer from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and the start of many cruises. Flights, park fee, transit card and transfers.
About the site
San Cristóbal Airport, on the edge of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, is the second gateway to the Galápagos and the start or end point of many of our cruises, especially those that sail the eastern and southern islands. It is only about a kilometer from the town and the harbor, so the transfer to your yacht takes just a few minutes.
Flights arrive from Quito and Guayaquil; those from Quito usually stop in Guayaquil. As at Baltra, you buy the transit control card (TCT) at the mainland airport before check-in, and you pay the Galápagos National Park entrance fee in cash on arrival, after a biosecurity inspection of your luggage.
Starting a cruise here has its advantages: the town has a pleasant waterfront where sea lions sleep on the benches and beaches, and the Interpretation Center, Frigatebird Hill and Lobos Islet are all close by, so some itineraries include them on the first or last day. Kicker Rock, one of the most famous snorkeling sites in the islands, is a short navigation away.
If your flight leaves in the afternoon, there is often time for a last walk along the waterfront before the transfer back to the airport.
