Galápagos is spectacular year-round! Each season has its advantages:
Warm season (December–May):
-
Temperature: 25–30°C
-
Calmer, warmer seas (great for snorkeling)
-
Occasional short rains
-
Sea turtle nesting
-
Sea lion pups
Cool/dry season (June–November): also a beautiful time because of the sea colors, cooler hiking weather, specific wildlife events, etc.
-
Temperature: 20–25°C
-
Cooler water but excellent visibility
-
Humpback whales (June–September)
-
Blue-footed booby courtship
-
Fewer tourists in some months
Recommendation: If it’s your first time, any season is perfect. For specific wildlife events (whales, nesting, etc.), we can advise depending on your interests.
