Galapagos Islands vacation stands out for its unparalleled wildlife encounters with fearless animals, pristine volcanic landscapes, and crystal-clear snorkeling waters. Unlike other eco-tourism destinations, Galapagos Islands vacation combines evolutionary significance with strict conservation measures, allowing visitors to observe unique species that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution in their natural, protected habitats.
The ideal time for a Galapagos Islands vacation is during the dry season, June-November, when you’ll experience clear skies, excellent visibility for snorkeling, and active wildlife. The warm season, December-May, during your Galapagos Islands vacation offers calmer seas and warmer waters, but occasional rain showers. Both seasons provide unique wildlife viewing opportunities, as Galapagos Islands vacation experiences vary with mating and nesting cycles throughout the year.
Our 5-day Galapagos Islands vacation allows you to experience the highlights of multiple islands and ecosystems. However, to truly immerse yourself in a comprehensive Galapagos Islands vacation, many travelers prefer 7-10 days to visit more remote islands and increase wildlife encounter opportunities. Our itinerary maximizes your Galapagos Islands vacation experience in the time available by focusing on biodiversity hotspots.
