Galapagos - Security

Jul 01, 2025

Overall Crime and Safety:

The Galapagos Islands are generally safe and crime rates are low. Take general precautions, lock your yacht, and be aware of your surroundings.

If intending to undertake an Island tour with a boat tour company (rather than your own boat), be sure to ask about safety features before making a booking, and check that lifeboats and life vests are provided.

Sea Lions

The Galapagos sea lions are the unofficial welcoming committee and they take their role to heart. They can be VERY insistent about coming aboard and occupying any suitable space.
