Letting in Galápagos Islands
Rules and licensing
Building and letting are tightly controlled: residency in the islands is restricted, new tourist accommodation is capped, and everything requires Ministry of Tourism registration. This is not an open market.
Tourist tax
A national park entrance fee per person on arrival, plus a transit control card. Both are cash and both are significant.
How the year is shaped
Steady year-round with peaks in December to January and June to August. There is no bad time, only different wildlife.
Who books here
Land-based visitors on five to eight nights doing day tours, an alternative to a live-aboard cruise. Help booking licensed day tours is worth more than any amenity.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
