Galápagos FAQs
Common questions about visiting Galápagos
When is the best time to visit?
Galápagos is a year-round destination, but each season offers something different. Dec–May is warmer with calmer seas and clearer water for snorkeling. Jun–Nov is cooler and drier with more marine wildlife activity (penguins, whales).
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
You'll be wearing wetsuits and snorkeling in calm bays — but basic swimming ability is recommended.
