Travel tips

Get prepared for your Galapagos Trip!

When packing for a trip to the Galapagos, it’s important to consider the climate and activities you’ll be doing. Here are some clothing recommendations:

  1. Comfortable Walking Shoes: You’ll be doing a lot of walking, so comfortable shoes are a must. Choose a pair that can handle rocky and sandy terrain.

  2. Quick-drying Clothing: The Galapagos is a humid environment, so clothing that dries quickly is essential. Avoid cotton as it takes a long time to dry. Instead, opt for synthetic materials or clothing made from merino wool.

  3. Lightweight Layers: The weather in the Galapagos can be unpredictable, so it’s important to bring lightweight layers that can be easily added or removed. This includes a lightweight jacket, long-sleeved shirts, and pants.

  4. Swimsuit: You’ll have plenty of opportunities to swim and snorkel in the Galapagos, so don’t forget to pack a swimsuit.

  5. Sun Protection: The sun in the Galapagos can be intense, so it’s important to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Choose a hat with a wide brim to protect your face and neck.

  6. Insect Repellent: Mosquitoes and other insects can be a problem in some areas of the Galapagos, so bring insect repellent to protect yourself.

  7. Water-resistant Backpack: You’ll be carrying a lot of gear with you, so bring a water-resistant backpack to keep your belongings dry.

Remember to pack light and only bring what you need. Many airlines have weight restrictions on luggage, so check with your airline before you go.

The climate in the Galapagos is a tropical and subtropical climate that is influenced by the cool Humboldt Current and the warm El Niño Current. The weather can be unpredictable and can change quickly, so it’s important to be prepared for a variety of conditions.

There are two main seasons in the Galapagos:

  1. Dry Season: The dry season runs from June to November, and it is characterized by cooler temperatures and lower humidity. The sea is also cooler during this time, which can make snorkeling and swimming less comfortable. However, the skies are often clear, making it a great time for wildlife watching and hiking.

  2. Wet Season: The wet season runs from December to May and is characterized by warmer temperatures and higher humidity. The sea is also warmer during this time, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. However, there can be occasional rain showers and the skies may be cloudy, which can make wildlife watching more challenging.

Overall, the Galapagos has a mild climate with average temperatures ranging from 20-30°C (68-86°F) throughout the year. It’s important to pack appropriate clothing and gear for both the wet and dry seasons, as well as for protection from the sun and insects.

When traveling to the Galapagos, it’s important to take certain health precautions to ensure a safe and healthy trip. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  1. Vaccinations: There are no required vaccinations for entry into the Galapagos Islands, but it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor before traveling to make sure you are up to date on routine vaccinations.

  2. Altitude: The Galapagos Islands are at sea level, so there are no altitude concerns.

  3. Water: The tap water in the Galapagos is not safe to drink, so be sure to only drink bottled water or water that has been properly filtered or purified. You should also avoid ice made from tap water and fruits and vegetables that have been washed in tap water.

  4. Sun Protection: The sun in the Galapagos can be intense, so it’s important to wear sunscreen with a high SPF, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays.

  5. Motion Sickness: If you are prone to motion sickness, be prepared for the possibility of rough seas during boat rides between islands. Talk to your doctor about medications or other remedies that can help.

  6. Insects: Mosquitoes and other insects can be a problem in some areas of the Galapagos, so bring insect repellent to protect yourself.

  7. Medical Facilities: The medical facilities in the Galapagos are limited, so it’s a good idea to bring a small first aid kit with you. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or require special medications, make sure to bring enough medication to last your entire trip.

It’s always a good idea to consult with your doctor before traveling to the Galapagos to ensure that you are healthy enough to make the trip.
