Spectacular, richly biodiverse, and isolated; the Galapagos Islands are where Charles Darwin first theorised natural selection. Thousands of creatures of the sea and sky call this living laboratory home. If you are looking to visit this place, December is an interesting month in the region, as the weather transitions from the cool, dry season (June to December) into the warm and wet season (January to June). What does that mean for you? The best of both seasons, including the amazing wildlife viewing opportunities each brings. Temperatures average 27c (80F), the water is diving-perfect at 24c (75F). You are just in time to see the Giant Tortoise eggs hatching and sea lion mating season begin.
For nature enthusiasts, curious travellers, and wildlife lovers alike there’s no better way to celebrate the end of 2019 than in the Galapagos, relaxing on the boat deck as Frigate birds arch through the sky overhead.
