The Galapagos Archipelago has a sub-tropical climate, allowing cruises to operate on a year round basis.
Temperatures are determined almost entirely by the ocean currents that are influenced by the trade winds. Generally, December to
May is warm and sunny; June to November is cool and breezy. Use the temperature chart below to plan your Galapagos vacation! Temperatures are shown in Farenheit.
