I last visited the Galapagos about 20 years back and the same kind of high entry fee applied. It was $75 as I recall, and with with inflation is way over $150 now.
GREAT. It is one of the best managed natural resources on earth. And the entry fee heps keep it that way.
There are a
couple of carriers to Galapagos, each with
many daily flights to both airports there.
As I posted above, the flights are often tossed in free anyway, along with $$$ discounts.

The flights run about $US400 RT from Quito and are much cheaper from Guayaquil ... both many hours in the air.
I see you are a top elite with UA and AA.
Want me to list a few dozen city to city pairs that AA and UA charge a
GREAT deal more than that for.. for a LOT less flying.
