The truth is there’s no bad time to visit the Galapagos…every season offers something incredible to see. But if you’re looking for a sweet spot, October and November are worth considering.
🌊 Cool, nutrient-rich waters attract a high concentration of marine life
🦭 Sea lion pups born in late summer are now curious, playful, and spending more time in the water, creating some of the cutest wildlife encounters
☀️ Air and water temperatures start to warm up, making it comfortable for both hiking on land and snorkeling in the ocean
✨ Visitor numbers are typically lower following the busy summer high season
Have some PTO to use by the end of the year? Consider the Galapagos Islands! There is still time to book a 2026 adventure.
