We can also book the matching Galapagos flights, trusted pre- and post-cruise hotels and day tours, and handle the admin in one go. Our multilingual team has been to the islands many times and will guide you through the process without the single-brand bias of an operator that must sell its own products. Same price, more choice, expert help, and real human backup when plans change.
When to go to Galapagos?
%3Aformat(webp)%2Fhubspot_blogs%2F82127066508-galapagosislandnature1.jpg&w=1920&q=75)
Galapagos is genuinely year-round, and Royal Galapagos runs rotating 4-, 5- and 8-day routes (often combinable to 15 days) in every season. December–May is the warm season with calmer seas and warmer water (great for snorkeling); June–November is the cool garúa season with nutrient-rich waters and especially active marine life. Peak demand weeks are Easter, July–August, and Christmas/New Year, so plan 9–12 months ahead for those dates. If must-sees like Genovesa (seabird spectacle) or the western volcanoes of Isabela/Fernandina are on your list, we’ll match you to the specific Royal rotation that includes them. Whenever possible, choose an 8-day itinerary: you’ll cover far more visitor sites and maximize your wildlife chances. For details, see our seasonality guide and tips on the best itinerary length. .
