Toronto to the Galapagos Islands - $774 roundtrip after taxes - March through May
9
October
There appears to be some unusually cheap flights to the Galapagos Islands (GPS) from Toronto on American Airlines at the moment.
Even from the closest country to the Galapagos Islands, which is Ecuador, the bottom price for flights to the Galapagos is usually around $500 roundtrip after taxes, so $775 from Toronto is a pretty crazy price.
I've found flights around this price from March 2013 through to about the end of May 2013.

The Galapagos Islands are of course a dream destination for many travelers out there. Hopefully this helps makes it a reality for some of you!
Some interesting facts about the Galapagos...
- The Galapagos Islands are located on the Equator, about 907 km (600 miles) west of the mainland Ecuadorian coast.
- Most of the islands are the tips of enormous volcanoes formed by slabs of the Earth's crust moving south east over a "hot spot"or stationary area where concentrated heat and magma are released.
- The Galapagos penguin is the only tropical penguin in the world.

Hey Chris! This is an amazing deal! How would you go about booking a multiple city trip, if we want to go to Quito as well? Thanks very much, Melissa
Unfortunately, what it doesn't mention is that there are three separate flights involved, some of which are hours apart. The total travel time is somewhere near 20+ hours!
It's the Galapagos Islands, not a non-stop flight to Cancun. Of course the travel time will be lengthy :)
Hi everyone
i checked and you can simply book a multicity flight for the same price on AA. this way you can spend a week in Equador and a week in galapagos.
having said that i know of a collegue of mine who has travelled alot (6-7 weeks per year) and has named Galapagos one of his top 5 destinations for himself and his wife
However, given that the flight is a good deal, something to consider is the costs on the islands themselves, which is VERY expensive. If anyone is seriously interested then check out the post below to see if its right for you

hope this helps
cheers
Thanks! This deal is amazing.
I got my flights on Expedia for $750 return in March.
Nice! Have fun Mark!
Melissa: Did you try a multi-city search on Kayak?
Very nice find!
Jess, if you want non-stop flight yyz-gps, buy yourself a private jet.
multicity itinerary on AA trying to add a stop in Quito (UIO) turns up an expensive and illogical routing to Guayaquil through Miami and New York! So get a stopover in GYE (nothing much of interest to travellers) and arrange Quito from there by plane or bus as a separate item. This is an amazing deal; until recently GPS had to be bought at a never discounted $400 or so from UIO or GYE, not combinable with international tickets. Boat transport is needed in Galapagos but there's usually something available on short notice if flexible re what boat and itinerary.
Has someone found a good combo for a multi-city flight? I'm getting little over 1K flights stopping in GYE for eg for a wk.
Thanks so much for posting this! Such a great deal and because of you i'm now heading to the Galapagos to swim with sea lions in April! Will send you pics afterwards :-)
Awesome, please do that Olga, would love to see the pics!
