id=\"hot-season-december-through-may\">Gal\u00e1pagos Weather: Hot Season (December Through May)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The wet season is characterized by a mixture of rain and sun, so the islands still generally remain warm.  In fact, the otherwise sunny days are characterized by intermittent mists and drizzles that can be refreshing. Since the sun will be out most of the time, you can plan on enjoying all regular Gal\u00e1pagos activities, including walks through the lush highlands of islands like Santa Cruz. Still, it&#8217;s a good idea to pack rain gear for island excursions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall Temperatures:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Land: avg.72-86\u00b0F\/30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water: avg.76\u00b0F\/25\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dry-season-june-through-november\">Gal\u00e1pagos Weather: Dry Season (June Through November)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the dry season, you can expect cloudy skies, cooler temperatures, and dry weather. So, if you are seeking a mild climate for excursions, neither too hot nor too cold, the dry season is perfect. That said, if you travel to inland areas, you probably won&#8217;t escape the occasional misty fog, also known as <i>garua<\/i>. This arrives with the Humboldt Current and blankets the highlands, creating fertile green zones, while the coast generally remains arid. Since garua is light, you can leave the rain gear at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of the Humboldt Current, its nutrient-rich waters result in increased marine activity, making the dry season the perfect time for diving\/snorkeling excursions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall Temperatures:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Land: avg. low\/high 66-79\u00b0F\/19-26\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water: avg. 72\u00b0F\/22\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading text-center\" id=\"best-time-to-visit-the-galapagos-islands-what-to-expect-each-season\">Best Time To Travel to Gal\u00e1pagos: Seasons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"infographic\">\n    <table id=\"galapagos\">\n      <thead>\n        <tr class=\"header\">\n          <th class=\"col1\"><h3>Warm &amp; calm waters<\/h3><\/th>\n          <th class=\"col2\"><h3>Wildlife breeding<\/h3><\/th>\n          <th class=\"col3\"><h3>Adventure &amp; diving<\/h3><\/th>\n          <th class=\"col4\"><h3>Flexible \/ No preference<\/h3><\/th>\n        <\/tr>\n        <tr class=\"range-icons\">\n          <td class=\"col1\">\n            <span class=\"month\">Jan\u2013Mar<\/span><br>\n           <div class=\"svg-weather\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 640 640\"><!--!Font Awesome Free v7.0.1 by @fontawesome -

However, the best time to see land species is during the warm and wet season. On the other hand, the cold and dry season brings an increase in marine fauna. For example, while snorkeling and scuba diving, you will often enjoy greater visibility, though you should plan on packing a wetsuit for any water activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full alignnone wp-image-16946\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sierra-negra-volcano.jpg\" alt=\"Sierra negra volcano\" class=\"wp-image-43694\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sierra-negra-volcano.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sierra-negra-volcano-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sierra-negra-volcano-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sierra-negra-volcano-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sierra-negra-volcano-204x153.jpg 204w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sierra-negra-volcano-945x709.jpg 945w, https:\/\/rebeccaadventuretravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sierra-negra-volcano-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Volcanic landscapes in the Gal\u00e1pagos highlands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All year round, you can see iconic avian species like red-footed boobies and masked boobies.
