What about crowds and costs?
As touched on above, visiting the Galapagos Islands in September means you’ll be in the company of much smaller crowds than seen through July and August. Kids are back in school, so family vacationers have departed.
At the same time, prices are reduced, but so too are some tours and trips. This is because September sees some operators put their vessels through an annual maintenance service.
So, you’ll need to do your research to check what trips and tours are running during the weeks you plan to visit. While some will still be available, the reduced offering means you’ll want to book early.
