All tour reservations are subject to availability, especially due to high season in December and from June until August.

Wetsuit requirements in the Galapagos Islands vary depending on the season.

During the warmer months from January to June, water temperatures range from 60°F to 75°F (16°C to 24°C), making a short wetsuit or even a swimsuit sufficient for snorkeling.

However, from June to December, the water temperature drops to around 60°F (16°C), necessitating a long wetsuit.

Ultimately, personal comfort plays a crucial role in choosing the appropriate wetsuit. Some individuals may prefer a wetsuit even in warmer months, while others may be comfortable without one.
