If you´re going then expect to be chained to a guide the whole time and do a 5+ day cruise that includes Española and Floreana Islands. In the end its about the same price and you´ll have to arrange a guide for everything, see less etc. If you cant afford the cruise you cant afford the Galapagos. Id rate the beach on Isabella also if u got a couple days to do nothing in a sleepy friendly town.
