For example, longer cruises are the only way to see albatrosses in Espa\u00f1ola, land iguanas in South Plaza, red-footed boobies in Genovesa, and penguins in the Western archipelago. A trip to Galapagos is once in a lifetime visit. Every island is different and is definitely worth seeing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will kindly help you with organizing hotel-bookings, hotel-based packages and day tours, including diving if you prefer a hotel-based island extension.

The overall climate is quiet and warm, and unusual dry for the tropics, saving local micro-climates in the moist highlands. The weather is calm as well; the islands aren\u2019t located on the path of cyclones or tropical storms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this archipelago is situated on the equator, actually the climate can only be characterized as tropical in the first half of the year. This \u201chot season\u201d never gets excessively hot, but counts with a very intense equatorial sun with blue skies, alternated with some rain or even an occasional shower. From about June onwards to the end of the year is the cooler, dryer and overcast \u00abgar\u00faa season\u201d. Although called \u201ccool season\u201d, these months still count most of the time with nice summer weather, and give the opportunity to avoid the most intense sunshine.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel\" id=\"1706123004538-cde19891-dd13\" data-vc-content=\".vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"vc_tta-panel-title\"><a href=\"#1706123004538-cde19891-dd13\" data-vc-accordion data-vc-container=\".vc_tta-container\"><span class=\"vc_tta-title-text\">Interplay of ocean currents<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall climate of these Pacific islands is regulated by an interplay of no less than five ocean currents that meet. Most influential players are the cold Humboldt Current, arriving from the Antarctic, and the tropical Panama and Equatorial Counter Currents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the cool season, roughly between June and November, the southeastern trade winds boost dominant cold waters from the south to Galapagos, chilling air and water temperatures. These rich waters also bring large quantities of food for sea birds and their chicks. Condensation at an altitude of just 300-600 m (1000-2000 ft) forms a light overcast (especially in July and August) that usually is broken open by the burning afternoon sun. In the southeastern highlands these clouds appear as a fine drizzling fog, locally known as gar\u00faa. In August and September the sea becomes somewhat rougher as well. In the hot season, from December until about April, the trade winds calm and the Humboldt Current is no longer strong enough to invade the tropical waters of the Pacific currents. Supported by prevailing eastern winds, warmer waters enter the archipelago (comfortable for snorkelling). Moist air can evaporate freely and clear the overcast, but form higher rain clouds while day temperatures rise. Highest temperatures are in March (sometimes over 30 \u02daC or 86 \u02daF). Seas generally are at their calmest as well from January to April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the transitional months weather is changeable, and shows the characteristics of both seasons. The start of each season tends to vary yearly and the change can take over a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every few years (irregularly), the tropical currents are more powerful and cause a climate phenomenon that is called \u201cEl Ni\u00f1o\u201d, after the Christ-child, both born at end of December (last occurrences in 1997-1998, 2002-2003, 2004-2005, 2006-2007 and 2015-2016). The causes are not fully understood yet and serious matter of scientific investigation. But the consequences may be severe for human, marine and sea bird life, although present Galapagos species proved to be able to survive longer periods of considerably warmer waters and scarce food. Nevertheless, especially the Galapagos penguins and flightless cormorants are very vulnerable to this phenomenon, while the bigger populations of Galapagos sea lions and blue-footed boobies suffer as well. Land birds, on the other hand, thrive during \u201cEl Ni\u00f1o\u201d years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within this general climate story, the Galapagos owes its wealth and variety mainly to its diverging micro climates. It counts no less than 7 different climate zones, contributing to Ecuador\u2019s amazing biodiversity! While the south-eastern highlands receive most rain and are covered by dense escalesia cloud forests, the northern slopes lie in the rain shadow and have a completely different look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same applies to sea water temperatures. These tend to vary strongly locally, ranging from 16 \u02daC-28 \u02daC (60 \u02daF-82 \u02daF) at the surface, depending on the season, the depth of the water, currents, among other factors. West from Isabela, where the Cromwell Current wells up from the deep sea, snorkelling waters are coldest and a wetsuit is recommended to be able to stay longer in the water (and for divers: Darwin and Wolf are surrounded by very cold waters).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Galapagos may have calm and perfect holiday weather, the hard reality is that its climate is tough for species that have to cope with it, and it is a critical element for natural selection. Not only because of the lack of fresh water, but for the dramatic climate changes like El Ni\u00f1o as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><b>Line charts (both in \u02daF and \u02daC)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4261 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catamaranarchipel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gps-tempf-eng1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catamaranarchipel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gps-tempf-eng1.png 966w, https:\/\/www.catamaranarchipel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gps-tempf-eng1-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/www.catamaranarchipel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gps-tempf-eng1-768x568.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4260 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catamaranarchipel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gps-tempc-eng1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catamaranarchipel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gps-tempc-eng1.png 966w, https:\/\/www.catamaranarchipel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gps-tempc-eng1-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/www.catamaranarchipel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gps-tempc-eng1-768x568.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel\" id=\"1706123136951-e86a3f58-6c03\" data-vc-content=\".vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"vc_tta-panel-title\"><a href=\"#1706123136951-e86a3f58-6c03\" data-vc-accordion data-vc-container=\".vc_tta-container\"><span class=\"vc_tta-title-text\">National park and getting there<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are flights from Quito (with a stopover in Guayaquil) and Guayaquil to the airports of Baltra or San Cristobal, where your cruise will begin.
