August is prime time to spot majestic humpback whales in the Galapagos. 🐋🌊

Humpback whales visit the waters of the Galapagos Islands as part of their incredible migration from the icy seas of Antarctica. 🌊🐋 These marine giants travel over 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles) to reach the warmer equatorial waters, a journey that can take more than a month depending on the currents and their pace.

During this season, males put on a show - leaping, slapping their flippers, and making waves to impress the females. These dramatic moves aren’t just for show; they’re a way of communicating and a glimpse into their curious, social nature. It’s one of the most exciting wildlife displays of the year!

The best places to see them? Isabela and Fernandina Islands, and for the adventurous, the remote Darwin and Wolf Islands. These nutrient-rich waters attract the whales during the dry season, but sightings can happen all across the archipelago. An unforgettable experience for any nature lover! 🌿🐳

August in the Galapagos is pure magic. 🌊🐋

It’s one of the best times to spot humpback whales showing off with huge leaps during courtship. You might also catch a glimpse of giant manta rays and hammerhead sharks — and if you dive, this is a show you don’t want to miss! 🤿🦈

Back on land, there’s plenty happening too. Blue-footed bo***es, red-footed bo***es, and waved albatrosses are all raising their young, who are just starting to explore the world. With cool, dry weather, it’s the perfect time for nature walks and wildlife watching. 🥾🌿

Plus, Galapagos hawks and flamingos begin their mating season — showing off unique behaviors you can only witness this time of year. 🦩✨

A Great Doctor
By feeding exclusively on fish, octopus and eels near the coast, their health status, reproductive success and behavior reflect the availability of food and thus the quality of the coastal marine ecosystem.

It is very important to make visitors and tour operators aware of the fragility of this species to help avoid disturbance during nesting and reduce negative impacts. In addition to taking care of their ecosystem with good waste control.

A Great Diver 🤿
This species has very strong legs and its webbed feet are well adapted for diving for food. It feeds on eels, small fish and octopus, and hunts in shallow waters no more than 100 meters from its nests.

Fact 1: During this month we will have a truly special and magical moment, which could be to observe the elaborate courtship of the flightless cormorant, as this is its mating season.
Best Way to See Them: To see them, make sure your trip to Galapagos includes Isabela or Fernandina Island, as this species cannot be seen elsewhere.
Fact: Both parents participate in the task of incubating the eggs, but once the chicks are more independent, the female leaves to find another mate, leaving the male to do the rest of the chick care.
