In Ecuador, there is no established amount for tipping. However, based on our clients’ experience, and if you think that the service has been excellent, we recommend for Ecuador Continental tours, US$8 to US$15 per traveller, per day. In Galapagos the average is US$10 - US$15 per day, per guest for budget / midrange trips, and US$20 - US$25 per day, per guest for first class / luxury cruises (the crew will divide it equally among them), plus any amount you leave to the guide.
