It's quite a gamble to go to
Galapagos islands with out having a booked boat reservation. Most of the time all boats are fully booked and if you don't have that much time to spend looking for a trip it can be quite the disappointment to get there and not getting around due to no available boats. But if you have time you can make quite the bargain.
We managed to book 2 last minute beds of a superior class yacht for the extreme good price of 310 USD per person. Normal price you ask? Lets try 3000 EUR per person...
