You should be comfortable in water and able to swim short distances with a mask/snorkel; guided snorkel sites are supervised but basic swimming ability is required.
National Park entrance fees are typically required separately when entering the Galápagos; check booking details—some operators include them, some do not.
Very strict: you must stay on marked paths, keep distance from animals, and follow your naturalist guide to minimize disturbance and comply with park regulations.
Open-ocean ferry crossings and day boat rides can be choppy; bring motion-sickness medication if you are susceptible and choose seats near the centerline.
