If native animals are your focus, consider what stage of life and which species you’d like to witness the most. For example, some species actively breed in August while others are birthing or hatching at that time. Your ideal time of year to take a Galapagos Islands cruise may depend on what interests you the most, from giant tortoises to marine iguanas. While no species are guaranteed to be seen, one of our Adventure Specialists can guide you through which month is right for you. Our Galapagos Islands animals and Galapagos by Month blog are also great guides, outlining which animals are doing what when.
