Do the people in Galapagos Islands speak English?

While some people in the Galapagos Islands speak English, it's not the primary language. The official language of Ecuador, where the Galapagos Islands are located, is Spanish.

However, you will find that many people working in the tourism industry, especially those involved with guiding and hospitality, have a good level of English.

Keep in mind:

* The level of English proficiency will vary depending on the person and their role.

It's always a good idea to learn a few basic Spanish phrases before your trip to make communication easier and enhance your overall experience.
