If you’re thinking about heading to the Galapagos and wondering what the best time of year is to visit, the answer is: it’s a year round destination! That said, there are certain seasons to see various animals and view different animal behavior. We have a cheat sheet charting out when to see what, so ask us for details.
\Also, did you know that a cruise is not the only way to visit the Galapagos? For a land-based option, we really like the Pikai Lodge, the only luxury 5 star property in the Galapagos. It sits on 31 hectors of land, atop 2 extinct volcano craters. They have 3-7 night stay packages and depending on which you choose, part of that is spent seeing the flora and fauna by land and part by sea on one of the lodge’s two luxury yachts. Of course, both excursion options will be led by an expert naturalist. Be sure to book your stay here through Journeys Unparalleled in order to receive VIP treatment, room upgrade if available at check in, free wifi and a 60 minute massage for 2 adults per room.
Lastly, your trip doesn’t solely have to be about the Galapagos. Pair it with a larger trip to Ecuador. A fantastic adventure destination with opportunities for many activities including:
- cultural exploration
- history
- chocolate making lessons
- visiting ancient ruins
- waterfall hikes
- swinging on vines
- jungle hikes
- meeting hundreds of butterflies
- sky-biking or taking a cable car through the cloud forest
- learning about Ecuador’s rose industry
- boating inside a volcano
- kayaking to see condors
- crossing a foot bridge in the sky.
We can go on and on but the list is exhaustive, so we’ll leave it at that for now. Whether for a group, family, couple or single, let us help you plan based on how YOU want to experience the Galapagos and what you’re most interested in seeing and doing!
