The best time to go to Puerto Villamil is during the warm-wet season, from December to May.During these months, the weather is generally sunny with occasional short, heavy showers, and the sea is calmer and warmer, making it ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and diving. You'll find the water temperatures more comfortable for enjoying the beaches and marine life.Wildlife viewing is excellent year-round in the Galápagos, but the warm-wet season offers particularly clear waters for underwater encounters with marine iguanas, sea turtles, and various fish species. This is also when many land birds are nesting, making for good birdwatching opportunities.Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will appreciate the warm, clear waters and sunny days, superb for enjoying the pristine white sand beaches like Playa Grande, just a short walk from the town centre.
