Ecoventura - Galapagos

31/03/2025

June, July, and August in the Galapagos 🐢

These months mark the start of the cooler, dry season, bringing an explosion of marine life and comfortable temperatures for exploring both land and sea! 🌊

Thanks to the nutrient-rich Humboldt Current, the ocean comes alive with schools of fish and marine life. Keep your eyes peeled for whales and dolphins, frequently spotted during these months! 🐬🐋

It’s nesting season! Blue-footed bo***es, flightless cormorants, and frigatebirds put on spectacular courtship displays. Plus, giant tortoises begin their migration to lower elevations in search of food.

Galapagos penguins move toward the central islands, making this the best time to spot them. Playful sea lion pups make their debut on the beaches, and migratory birds like the Galapagos hawk and American flamingo are at their most active. 🐧🦭

Weather & Conditions: Expect pleasant daytime temps of 66-79°F (19-26°C) with cooler ocean waters (70-75°F / 21-24°C)—perfect for snorkeling!
The southeast trade winds bring slightly stronger currents, making this an exciting season for adventurers.

With fewer visitors in the islands, Summer is your chance to experience the Galapagos in a more exclusive and intimate way. 🙌🏼

The Giant tortoises of the Galapagos 🐢

Did you know?
They can live over a century, with some reaching 150 years old.

Despite their size, they are key ecosystem engineers, shaping their habitat as they roam.

Each island has its own unique tortoise species, adapted over time to different environments.

You can encounter these incredible creatures on both of our itineraries, especially in the lush highlands of Santa Cruz Island, where they wander freely in their natural habitat.

A moment of quiet connection with one of the Galapagos’ most iconic residents!

Global Recycling Day 🌎♻️

At Ecoventura and Galapagos Sky, we’re committed to protecting our planet and creating a sustainable future for all. Recycling is an essential part of the fight against climate change and plays a crucial role in promoting global sustainability.

Today, we want to highlight our efforts and the impact we’ve made since the opening of our very own recycling facility and inspire you to be part of this initiative.

Since the launch of our recycling facility in September 2022, we have made tremendous strides in reducing our environmental footprint. To date, we are proud to announce that we have successfully recycled 19,524.3 kgs of glass, cardboard, and plastic—helping keep these materials out of Galapagos landfills and reducing our reliance on virgin resources.

Recycling is an essential part of the fight against climate change and promotes global sustainability.

We are proud to be part of a global movement that works to preserve our planet for future generations.

Thank you for your continued support in making sustainability a priority. Together, we can make a difference!

World Wildlife Day: Protecting Galapagos for Future Generations 🌎

At Ecoventura and Galapagos Sky, conservation is at the heart of everything we do. Through the Galapagos Biodiversity & Education for Sustainability Fund (GBESF), we’ve partnered with the Charles Darwin Foundation since 2017 to protect the incredible wildlife of the Galapagos Islands. 🌱

Today, we want to highlight some key projects making a difference:

Saving Scalloped Hammerheads🦈
Critically Endangered, these sharks play a key role in shaping the Hermandad Marine Reserve, an extension of the Galapagos Marine Reserve. Tagging and monitoring their movements helped define vital areas for protection.

Bringing back Floreana’s lost birds 🐦 
A groundbreaking project aims to reintroduce 12 species of fauna extinct on Floreana, including six small landbirds, following a successful rat eradication phase.

Sea Turtle protection & climate research 🐢
Studies (2021-2023) revealed how human activity affects sea turtles at Tortuga Bay, guiding conservation efforts. In 2024, scientists are tracking nesting temperatures at Quinta Playa to assess climate change impacts.

Deep Ocean Discoveries 🌊
In 2018, CDF researchers, with GBESF support, uncovered a thriving kelp forest near Santa Cruz Island—now confirmed as Eisenia galapagensis, a species new to science.

Every effort counts in safeguarding the Galapagos for generations to come. 💙

What makes the Galapagos… GALAPAGOS?

It’s a place where nature speaks in ways you’ve never heard before. A land of contrasts: where ancient turtles roam in silence while the ocean hums with life, where raw volcanic landscapes meet thriving ecosystems found nowhere else on Earth. 🌊🌿🐢

It’s not just a destination—it’s a world apart. One that stays with you long after you’ve left. ✨

THE symphony of the Galapagos. 🎵

No trending sounds, no distractions. Just the whispers of the wind, the calls of distant birds, and the silence of being underwater.

In the Galapagos, nature sets the soundtrack, inviting you to disconnect, listen, and truly be present. 😌

WHY Fall is the perfect time to explore the Galapagos 🍂 🐢

Fall brings a whole new magic to the Galapagos. With fewer visitors and incredible wildlife encounters, it’s the perfect season for an unforgettable adventure.

A More Intimate Experience ✨
With fewer visitors, you’ll enjoy a more personal connection with the islands, making every moment even more special.

Perfect Transition Weather 🌊
September marks the shift between cooler and warmer seasons.

Whale and dolphin watching 🐬
From July to November, whale and dolphin sightings peak, with September and October offering the best encounters.

Giant Tortoises on the Move 🐢
This is one of the best times to see Galapagos tortoises migrating from the lowlands to the highlands in search of food.

Birdwatching 🐧
It’s an exciting time for birdwatching, with blue-footed bo***es finishing their courtship dances and Galápagos penguins zipping through the water.

Thinking about a trip to the Galápagos this 2025? Fall might be the perfect time to go!
