Visiting the Galapagos Archipelago is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so it is worth doing it right! It is relatively expensive any way you do it, but you can choose a cruise according to your budget that will allow you to see as much as you can in the time you have available.
We always recommend at least a week in the Galapagos if your budget can stretch that far. Given that it costs $400-$500 to fly there, plus $110 for the park entry fee before you even set foot there, the cost per day for the extra couple of days will be well worth it! If you choose a cruise as your preferred method of seeing the Galapagos (click here for the land-based Island-Hopping options), then you can always elect to spend a couple of extra days staying in a hotel in Puerto Ayora from where you can either do free activities on your own, or book up for half-day or whole-day excursions to places you have not visited on your cruise.
