Since
the Galapagos Islands are in tropical regions, you should dress in
light,
cool clothing and bring a sweater or jacket and pants for the cooler
evening temperatures. Hiking
or tennis shoes will be needed to explore the island’s rough terrain
although for some land visits tevas or sandals will be fine.
For the larger yachts you should bring another pair of footwear to
keep dry and wear on the
boat, but on smaller yachts there is a policy of barefoot on board
usually.
A sun hat and sunglasses are also recommended to protect you from
the hot equatorial sun. Although
some items can be bought in
Puerto Ayora in the
Galapagos, they can be pricey and not always available so you should
plan to bring everything you will need with you, including extra supplies
of such
items as film
and
batteries.
