CloseSee details re. Restrictions on Fuel here.
Diesel fuel and water are occasionally difficult to obtain, so it is advisable to arrive with full tanks and not expect to find too much in the islands. It has also been reported that fuel may be dirty.
Larger quantities of diesel can be obtained at the dock at the military base at Baltra (Seymor) used by the local excursion boats, but this must be arranged in advance with an agent, and permission to proceed there must be obtained from the port captain in Puerto Ayora. Small quantities can be bought from the petrol station on Avenida Padre Julio Herrera, close to the market, and taken to the boat in jerrycans.
Propane bottles cannot be filled locally and have to be sent to the mainland and as this may take some time, it is better not to resort to this solution unless in dire need.
Gas (Cooking)
Mecanica Gallardo – Propane only and the cost is approximately US$3.50 per kilogram. Tel.: +593 525 526 6294.
Taxi drivers will know where to take you and will charge US$1.

Important information for all cruisers who are planning to visit Galapagos Islands: when choosing the agent never ever go for Ronny Sanches, Tironne S.A. We have a very bad experience in March 2018, our passports as well as boat passport was stolen from his office and he even didn’t inform us about that immediately. His phone numbers and office address are wrong in his business card and it was very difficult to cooperate with him.
in fact we traveled in the month of October, and that agent took care of us perfect, besides that we saved budget, unlike other local agents of galapagos.
