Flight & Pre-Trip Activities Information

You can book your own flights to Baltra or if you prefer we can book your local flights through Aggressor from mainland Ecuador (Quito or Guayaquil) to Baltra (contact us for more info). You will need to book your own flight to/from Quito or Guayaquil. Your travel arrangements should include a one-night stay (prior to the yacht’s departure) in Guayaquil (we highly recommend Guayaquil) or Quito. Please be aware that if you are traveling through Quito, your plans might change due to the activity of the volcanoes surrounding that city. In addition, the new Quito International Airport is located over one hour from downtown Quito. A one-night stay in Guayaquil or Quito is also recommended after the charter due to airline schedules.

As always Dive Ninjas is working on some plans for both pre-trip and post trip activities in case you would like to add-on some days before or after the trip. Stay tuned for more details! Or feel free to give us a shout if you are interested or looking for something specific.
