Galapagos in July

So, you’re thinking of visiting the Galapagos, and you’re wondering what’s happening in July? Well look no further because we’ve made it super easy for you!
Below is an example of all the ‘events’ that are going on right now in the Galapagos!
- Sea bird communities are very active (breeding), specially the Blue footed boobies on Española.
- Flightless cormorants perform beautiful courtship rituals and nesting activities on Fernandina.
- If you walk along the shores of Puerto Egas (Santiago Island) you could find American oystercatchers nesting.
- Lava lizards initiate mating rituals until November
- Cetaceans (whales & dolphins) are more likely to be observed, specially off the western coast of Isabela
- Great month to see the four stages of nesting in Blue footed boobies: eggs, chicks, juveniles and subadults.
- Water temperature does not reach more than 21C (68F)
Ok so the water is not super warm but that’s nothing a wet suite can’t fix, and with everything else happening this month surely it’s a small price to pay to experience all the other wonderful events!
