Golden Bay Galapagos
The second land base of the archipelago: a smaller town than Puerto Ayora, with the island airport (SCY) right there — an easy first or last night of a Galápagos trip.
Golden Bay Galapagos
The upper band is thinner on San Cristóbal than in Puerto Ayora: the census found clearly fewer top-band properties here, on an island that already has a shorter hotel list overall. Golden Bay Galapagos sits at that upper end, in the town where the plane lands — which makes it the choice for travellers who want the smaller, quieter base without stepping down in standard. Rooms, facilities and current terms are on the property’s own Booking.com page.
Best for: Travellers landing or leaving at SCY, and anyone who prefers the smaller of the two bases.

Good to know
- San Cristóbal’s airport (SCY) is at Puerto Baquerizo Moreno itself, so arrival and departure days cost no extra crossing; flights come from Quito (UIO) and Guayaquil (GYE).
- On arrival each foreign adult pays $200 for the Galápagos National Park entry tribute plus $20 for the Transit Control Card: $220 in cash, collected at the airport and never included in tour prices (nor are the flights from the mainland).
- Itineraries, visitor sites and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed: the National Park assigns the sites and the sea decides whether a crossing sails.
