Galapagos - Best time to visit


When to go, what to pack

You are here: South America --> Galapagos --> When to go


When to go



In general, you can visit the Galápagos all year round. However, the best time to visit the islands, if you also want to swim and sunbathe, runs from February to May, since it is the warmest and sunniest, although there may be some downpours or thunderstorms in the afternoon.
The cool season, from July to November, can be recommended to explore nature, since it almost never rains in the plains and the temperature is pleasant, even though you have to take into account mists, haze, and cloudy skies. From September to November, the sea can be a bit choppy, and this can disturb those who suffer from motion sickness, during boat trips between the islands.

What to pack



From December to May (warm period): bring light clothing, a light sweatshirt for the evening, a light raincoat or umbrella for rain showers, and a sun hat (after all, we are at the Equator). When going hiking on inland hills and the Volcán Wolf, you need a sweatshirt a bit warmer and a raincoat, and hiking shoes.
From June to November (cool period): bring light clothes, a sweatshirt or sweater and a light jacket for the evening. When going hiking in inland hills and the Volcán Wolf, bring hiking boots, a sweatshirt, and raincoat.

When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes.
