The Galápagos Islands are a year-round travel destination. From December to May, the weather is warmer, the sea is usually calmer, and there are occasional showers; it's ideal for luxury cruises with plenty of snorkeling and clear skies. From June to November, the dry season, or garúa, arrives, with cooler waters, increased marine life activity due to nutrients, and the possibility of moderate waves; excellent for wildlife viewing, although with more cloud cover. Resident wildlife can be observed in any month. If you are prone to seasickness, consider taking preventative medication. Book in advance during peak season and check the availability of cabins and itineraries authorized by the Galápagos National Park.
