FAQ
Galapagos FAQ
What is the best time to visit the Galapagos?
The islands are a year-round destination. December to May brings warmer, calmer water, while June to November is cooler and excellent for diverse marine life due to the Humboldt Current.
What should I pack?
Bring lightweight clothing, comfortable walking shoes for uneven terrain, footwear for wet landings, a hat, sunglasses and a light layer for breezy boat journeys. We will share packing guidance for your confirmed itinerary.
Which wildlife might I see?
Depending on your route, encounters may include giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, boobies, frigatebirds and sea turtles. Specific species vary by island and season; sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Should I choose a cruise or island hopping?
A cruise connects visitor sites by sea, while island hopping combines hotel stays with day excursions. We help you compare the routes, time aboard boats, accommodation and activities before deciding.
Can the journey be adapted to my walking pace?
Tell us about your preferred activity level and any access needs during planning. Many excursions involve uneven volcanic ground and boat landings; we will explain the requirements of the proposed activities.
Are park fees and the transit control card included?
Your proposal will state which fees are included and which are payable separately. Our team will explain the arrangements for your confirmed journey.
Can you plan a birdwatching-focused journey?
Yes. Tell us your target species and preferred travel dates. We can discuss island routes and the time needed for observation and photography, without promising specific sightings.
