    Kristina

    Asked on June 7th, 2024

    My husband and I just got married and would like to spend our honeymoon in Ecuador and Galapagos. I am interested to do the 10 days Galapagos multisport tour. Can you recommend what's the best month for snorkeling and getting to see the sea lions, sharks and penguins? We are very flexible in terms of departure time. Our plan is to stay some days in Ecuador exploring the nature and wildlife there, 7-10 days in Galapagos doing nature and wildlife tours and end our holidays with some more days on the island just relaxing. If you have a tour that combines this I'd be happy to receive your offer. We've set our a budget to 3,500 Euros per person excluding flights.

    • Adventure JourneysOperator•Written June 2024

      Galapagos Islands weather is pleasant year round and influenced largely by ocean currents. The islands are located on the equator and the weather does not change significantly throughout the year, though there are seasonal variations. Galapagos Islands temperature ranges from lows in the 60's Fahrenheit (16 Celsius) to highs in the 90's Fahrenheit (32 Celsius), so we can say that you can visit the all year, you can expect observe sea lions from day 1 when you arrive and sharks and penguins on Isabela Island for sure.

    Brittany

    Asked on May 7th, 2024

    I'm wondering if it's possible to book a dive for myself at Kicker Rock in San Cristobal instead of going snorkelling. Is there a dive shop you would recommend? Would I need to book something ahead of time or is it easy to book a dive once we got there?

    • Adventure JourneysOperator•Written May 2024
