Much advice sought for upcoming Galapagos trip

I use heavy duty work gloves for all my diving ...down to 50 degrees. But my hands don't get cold. I like the dexterity of work gloves and they are tougher than neoprene.

I had wondered if something like that would work. Thanks for the confirmation. Could you send a pic or link to the type of glove you use. I would save a bit of time going to stores to try on gloves. Also, from what materials are the gloves made?

Thanks

I use these nitrile coated gloves from Harbor Freight for grabbing lobsters. Cheap, great dexterity and durable.

...some travel insurance policies, and "ziplining" was excluded in some. I need to pick carefully.

Things may have changed since my visit. But when we arrived at the ziplining starting point:
*) You don't pay until after the ziplining
*) There were NO liability forms to sign
*) When you see how high up you are & how dense the forest floor below,,,,,,
.........................looks like there is no rescue. But Wolf/Darwin are 36hrs from land>>no quick rescue either..
