How To Plan A Great Galapagos Islands Cruise

How To Plan A Great Galapagos Islands Cruise

by Linda Ruiz

The Galapagos Islands have become a popular destination for tourists and scientists. Many people are attracted to this region for various reasons, such as the wildlife or the balmy climate. If you are interested in going there, you may want to consider booking a <A href="http://www.lastminutegalapagosdeals.com">galapagos islands cruise</A>.

The place is relatively isolated from the mainland. It is also very close to the Equator, meaning that the climate stays pleasant all year round. When you book your cruise, you will have to decide whether to visit in the High season or the Low season. The Low season is typically April and May and September and October, while the rest of the year is High season. During the Low Season, there are fewer tourists there, which means that you may get lower prices.

Once you have decided what cruise you want to take and when you will visit, you will need to consider certain other travel arrangements. If the boat departs from Ecuador, then you may have to take a flight there, which may not be included in the price of the cruise. It is especially difficult to book flights during the high season. However, your travel agent may be able to arrange this for you. They may also be able to book a complete package for you which includes the cruise as well as airfare.

Many cruises will include in the total price your onboard accommodations, your meals, and various visits or excursions to the popular local spots on the islands, such as the Galapagos National Park. You will likely be provided with an English speaking guide to show you the sights of the land.

You should also check if you need a visa. If you are a citizen of the United States, Canada or a European country, you do not need a visa, unless you are planning to stay there for more than ninety days.

The period from December to May is considered to be the warm season, where the climate becomes more tropical. During this time, the islands experience rain on a daily basis and it tends to get cloudy. The birds can become very active during the dry season as well. As the ocean temperature gets warmer, many visitors enjoy more water activities such as swimming and snorkeling.

You might also want to pack a swimsuit or wetsuit, since there are many water activities to do there, such as snorkeling and diving. If you are a photography enthusiast, be sure to bring your camera to photograph all the birds and animals there. You are a nature lover, you may also want to bring a pair of binoculars so that you can get the most out of sightseeing.

Some animals there have certain seasons in which they need to breed. During these times, they will become more active and can be seen in greater abundance, especially in the water. Before you book your cruise, research the wildlife and try to determine if there is one animal season in particular that you really want to see. You can then plan your trip around that time to get the most out of it.
