Floreana is more of an “out-island” as it does not have scheduled ferry service and you must visit as part of an excursion, or go on your own with a five port autograph. Note that not all agents "allow" a visit to Floreana and those that do insist that cruisers promise to adhere to the strict rules and regulations, which have been abused by previous generations of cruisers.
Contact Max (the local agent for agent Javier), who also answers to Johnni (Whatsapp +593 96 705 9117). He was the mayor for a decade and the current mayor is his wife!

The above cruiser confirmed that they visited Floreana with an autografo for 4 ports: San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, Floreana and Isabella. They used agent Ricardo.
Checked into Floreana yesterday. We were met immediately upon arrival by a water taxi with the Port Captain, Agriculture and Environmental officers. No Immigration on the island. They inspected the vessel, reviewed the paperwork we had from our agent and time in San Cristobal.
They did require a checkout in which they stamped our zarpe from San Cristobal to Issabella, where we are heading tomorrow. Contrary to the profile here, there is wifi available. An open unlocked site and a locked site that for which they freely provided the password. It’s the best internet we’ve seen in the Galapagos and I’m sending this to you from their free wifi right now.
