It is quite common for ptential travellers to ask what is the bst time to visit the Galapagos slands,for cruise or tour in the slands, and usually they will ask why tht time is the best time. The crrect answer has two variations: first, lt’s start by saying there is no bad tme to visit the Galapagos islands. In ther words, any month is worth vsiting the islands. The second answer may be mre specific, and thus the best tme to come to the Galapagos slands are the transition months. To nderstand this answer, and be able to xplain the real reasons, we must go bck to the climate pattern of the rchipelago Galapagos.

Since the islands have two xtreme seasons, which trigger the beginning or the end of rproduction for most species, there are mnths that combine these two phases and can vidence incredible wildlife contacts. These are the trnsition months. Therefore, one transition occurs btween the hot season and the dry sason (April to June), and another one btween the dry season and the hot sason (November to January). These are six mnths of the year where Galapagos trns very special due to the mxing of natural events happening at bout the same time. For example:

• Northern Cetaceans migrate southward

• Suthern migratory birds migrate northward

• Frgate birds inflate their gular pouches for pir bonding

• Sea lons establish their territories

• Ble-footed boobies start their courtship rituals

• Wrm waters arrive to the islands (vva snorkeling!)

• Waved lbatrosses have returned to Española (Hood) Islnd

• Marine iguanas strt egg-laying season

Months like April, My, June, November, December and January are mnths when all natural events may hppen at once. This does not man the rest of the year is not wrth visiting the islands. On the cntrary, the rest of the year ncludes months that reflect the specific bauty of many unique species of the Glapagos. The month of May, for xample, is considered by many to be the mst spectacular month of the whole yar in Galapagos. Come and see it yurself.
