Galapagos Fuel Surcharge
All Galapagos cruise bookings for 2008 will have a fuel surcharge of $100/person for 3-4 night itineraries and $200/person for 7-night itineraries.
Pay in full by April 30 for any cruise in 2008, and the fuel surcharge is waived!
Galapagos Tourist Card
All tourists visiting the Galapagos are also now required to have a $10 tourist card. This card will help control the number of visitors to the islands and also reduce the amount of paperwork visitors have to fill out. AWR will combine this fee with the national park tax for a total of $130/adult and $70/child.
Quito Hotel Tax
Starting April 1, 2008, all Quito hotels will be charging a new tourism tax to all visitors. This tax is $1/room/night for first-class hotels and $2/room/night for deluxe hotels. Visitors will have to pay this tax directly to the hotel upon check-out. This tax only applies to hotels in Quito.
