On board in December

What a December cruise is like

December opens the warm season. Days are sunny and warm, about 20–27 °C (68–80 °F), with occasional short showers that turn the islands green. The sea becomes calmer and the water warms to around 23 °C (74 °F).

What you can see from the yacht in December

Green sea turtles begin their mating season in the shallow bays.
The first giant tortoise hatchlings emerge.
Young waved albatrosses fledge and leave Española.
On Española, marine iguanas start to take on their red and green breeding colors.

For the full picture of the month, the weather and the sea week by week, who it suits and how to pack, read our guide Galápagos in December.

Book your Galápagos flights with us, together with your cruise: many cruise operators ask their guests to fly on the flights they reserve, and we book them at the net fare the operator gives us. We also recommend arriving in Ecuador two days before your Galápagos flight, in case your international flight is delayed or canceled.

Questions about cruising in December

Is December a good month for a Galápagos cruise?

Yes. The warm season returns with calm seas and warm water. The first half of the month is quiet; for Christmas and New Year, book well in advance.

What are the sea and the weather like on a December cruise?

Warm season, with air temperatures of about 20–27 °C (68–80 °F) and water around 23 °C (74 °F). Sea: calming. Rain: occasional short showers.

How far ahead should I book a cruise for December?

The first half of December is quiet. Christmas and New Year are the busiest weeks of the year: cabins and flights sell out months ahead, so book six to twelve months in advance.

Do these cruises include the nights in Mindo?

Yes. Every cruise booked with Dana Tours includes complimentary nights at our own Las Terrazas de Dana Boutique Lodge & Spa in Mindo Cloud Forest (usually 2–3, more on request), with all meals and private transfers from Quito, subject to the lodge’s availability on your dates. Departures marked ★ include our Mindo All-Inclusive program, with your own private guide.

Can you hold a cabin while I arrange my flights?

We can usually hold your cabin for 5–7 days, with no payment and no commitment. Holds and payment terms depend on the operator, availability and fare.
