When to go?
The Galapagos Islands offer exceptional wildlife experiences year-round, making them an ideal destination at any time. From December to May, the islands enjoy warmer temperatures and calm seas, creating perfect conditions for snorkeling and diving. During these months, the vibrant marine life includes tropical fish, manta rays, and sea turtles, with the warm waters allowing for great visibility.

From June to November, the cooler temperatures and slightly rougher seas bring nutrient-rich waters that attract larger marine species, making this the prime time for spotting majestic whales, including humpbacks and orcas, as well as frequent dolphin sightings. This cooler period is also excellent for observing seabirds engaged in nesting and breeding activities. Whether you seek the warmth of tropical waters or the cooler, wildlife-rich seasons, the Galapagos Islands provide an unforgettable adventure at any time of year.
