Galapagos Travel: Tips for Visiting the Galapagos Islands

Visiting the Galapagos Islands is like traveling to another world, with thousands of species of animal and plant seen only here. But Galapagos travel is as easy as a plane flight, a short hotel stay, and a boat voyage to the middle of the Galapagos Islands. Once on board one of our luxury yachts or catamarans, your adventure into the Galapagos Islands has begun.

Galapagos travel is a casual affair, where light comfortable clothing is the norm. When planning Galapagos travel, be sure to pack plenty of shorts, light-weight cotton T-shirts, a windbreaker or light sweater, and other comfortable attire. And of course, a sturdy pair of walking shoes or hiking boots is appropriate for land excursions.

Many guests on Galapagos travel bring their own snorkeling or diving equipment and wetsuits during the fall and winter months when the water around the islands can be cold. The sun is intense here, so a good shade hat and plenty of sunscreen also is advisable.

Weather for Galapagos Travel

Weather in the Galapagos Islands is fairly consistent, with daytime highs ranging from the low- to mid-70s from July through October to the mid- to high-80s from January through April.
