Climate: The Galapagos Islands experience two distinct seasons: the warm, wet season (December to May) and the cool, dry season (June to November). The best time to visit is from June to November, which is also great for diving, as cooler waters attract marine life. December to May sees warmer weather but occasional rain.

Worst Time: There isn't really a "worst" time, but the warmer, rainy season from January to March might not appeal to all travelers.
