What to take to Galapagos, Ecuador

Displayed:   times.

Definitely bring your camera or video recorder and several rolls of film because you will never have enough rolls of film to capture all sense of wonders. In addition buy filters for high sun levels of light to avoid disappointment and if you want to take photos of the under water worlds don't forget to bring an under water camera and your snorkeling equipment to ensure quality time underwater in preference to local equipment on the boats that may have leaks due to age. You can always resell your gear after use on the islands or in major city's if you don't intend further usage. With regards to your attire only bring light clothing for the day but allow for a jacket or sweater in the evening as water adventures are always cooler during evenings. Also bring high water resistant S.P.F levels of sun block due to the geographical location of Galapagos and high level skin damaging rays that reflect off the water as well as protecting from windburn, chapped lips while in addition bring a hat and a good pair of UV 100 level Sunglasses or visas.
