How would I go about visiting the Galapagos Islands if already in Ecuador?

Question

I am planning to visit some friends in Ecuador (near Quito) this summer for 10 days. During this time, I would love to visit the Galapagos Islands for 3 or 4 days. Taking both quality and affordability into account, what would be the best way to do this? Should I book a trip in advance through a travel agency, or wait until I get there and go someplace local? Anyone know of any good websites where I can be accomodated?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Myself and several friends had a very good experience with this company while visiting both Ecuador and  the Galapagos Islands. Your friends in Ecuador should also be able to help you in choosing a reputable travel agency.Because space is so limited to the islands I would advise making reservations as far in advance as possible.Have a great trip!
