Is there telephone or internet communication from the boats?

There is full phone and cell phone service in the Galapagos Islands, however signals may be weak or non-existent when you travel far from the populated islands. Several boats have computers for use for a fee. Be aware both phone and internet service is extremely expensive in this remote area, so be sure to check the charges in advance. 

Pto Ayora and San Cristobal have plenty of internet cafes, etc should you wish to make international calls during your stops in these towns. Personal cell phones may function depending on your own provider and the reception in the area where you try to use it.

When cruising the islands boats maintain communications by way of radios and or satellite phones 24/7.
