Your ideal travel dates depend on where you plan to go and what you’d like to do.
From December to May, the weather is warm and rainy, which also means the sea is warmer and perfect for swimming.
During the cooler season (June to November), temperatures drop slightly (around 20°C / 68°F). The ocean becomes rougher and cooler, especially around the Galápagos Islands, but this is also the best time to spot wildlife, including the majestic whale sharks.
