Galapagos National Park rules are
very strict and a way to keep the Islands intact for your enjoyment
and that of future generations. All visitors to the Galapagos will
have to pay $110 US dollars entrance fee (US$60 for children under 12). This
fee has to be prepaid. Some rules may seem excessive, but have in mind,
that only in this way this unique archipelago will last for years to
come. As one of the rules of the National Park, a naturalist guide
will be with you at all times. He or she will tell you what you can
and what you cannot do while visiting the islands. Please obey their
instructions on this respect. The most important rules are the
following:
1. Always follow the marked trail and never leave it
2. Do not touch the animals
3. Do not take souvenirs from the islands
4. Do not get too close to animals
5. Do not litter
6. Do not smoke on the islands
7. Do not take food to the islands
8. Clean your shoes' soles before disembarking in the islands. You
may have carried some seeds endemic to one island and would not want
to introduce them to another
9. Always stay together with your group.
