If I calculated right, price should be 117 500 miles.

Maybe good option to buy ticket ticket Hel-Jfk-Hel , if price 300 eur.

JFK-...-UIO or GYE would be much more useful for GPS or SCY. Be sure to do your research on the Galápagos - if you just fly to GPS and expect to wing it you'll be likely to have a very frustrating experience, particularly in high season. For the tours that make it worthwhile, be careful of selecting a boat that truly does a seven day tour and is not stitching a 3 and 4 day trips together; select a boat that is smaller (can go to sites larger groups are not permitted) and be aware boats can range from excellent to dodgy. There's no European or North American Coast Guard or licencing authority assuring you a boat will meet certain safety standards. (We've been to the islands twice, once on an extended boat excursion and once on a liveaboard dive boat that included Darwin and Wolf islands.)
