The Perfect Packing Guide for Your Trip to Ecuador
This packing list is just a recommended guide for your reference. Everything is optional, and you can choose based on your preferences.
It is advisable to leave all valuables and unnecessary jewelry at home.
Important Notes
The national airlines in Ecuador (for example, to the Galapagos Islands or Coca) allow only one checked bag of no more than 20 kg (44 lbs) and one carry-on bag per passenger. Inter-island flights in Galapagos have a 10 kg (25 lbs) limit for luggage, and any excess weight will need to be transported by boat.
Single-use plastics are NOT allowed in the Galapagos Islands. Make sure to bring a reusable water bottle!
Your clothing should be lightweight, breathable, hand-washable, and quick-drying, preferably moisture-wicking and not cotton. You’ll want sportswear for daily activities and smart casual wear for evenings.
Your daily activities can get your shoes dirty or muddy. Streets can be uneven. Lightweight sandals are not ideal for excursions and daily walks, but they are great for relaxing at the hotel.
You really only need one first aid kit in your travel group, so coordinate with your travel companions.
Remember to check the airline and airport security restrictions before packing your flight items.
Galapagos means nature, action, comfort, and relaxation, so you don’t have to worry about dressing up. Light casual clothing and a sweater or windbreaker are recommended while on board the ship.
For land excursions:
All hotels in Galapagos have access to purified water (such as a dispenser), so bring a reusable water bottle to fill up each morning.
NOTE: Single-use plastics are NOT allowed in the Galapagos Islands. You need to bring a reusable water bottle!
