When is the best time to visit the Galapagos Islands?
The best time to take a cruise holiday to the Galapagos Islands depends on the region you want to explore and the specific experiences you’re seeking. The Galapagos have two distinct seasons: the warm and wet season, which runs from December to June, and the cool and dry season, which occurs from June to November.
The warm and wet season, from December to June, is considered the best time for wildlife enthusiasts and divers. During this time, the waters are warmer and calmer, making it ideal for snorkelling and diving to witness the diverse marine life, including playful sea lions and graceful sea turtles.
On the other hand, the cool and dry season, from June to November, is preferred by those who want to witness incredible birdlife, including the famous waved albatross, and enjoy cooler temperatures and less humidity. The sea is cooler, making it a better time for those who are prone to seasickness, and it’s also the time when marine iguanas become more colourful.
