The Galápagos Islands, particularly around Wolf and Darwin Islands, are known for their exceptional marine life and the biodiversity that draws divers and nature enthusiasts from around the world. If you're planning a trip during October and November, it's a great time to experience these islands' underwater treasures.Here’s what you can expect in terms of marine life during that period:
1. Whale Sharks
- Peak Season: October and November are within the tail end of the whale shark season, though sightings can happen year-round. These gentle giants can be spotted particularly around Wolf Island.
- Behavior: Whale sharks often feed in the nutrient-rich waters around the islands. The cooler, nutrient-heavy currents around Wolf and Darwin attract plankton and smaller fish, which in turn attract these giant filter feeders.
- Peak Season: Hammerhead sharks are present year-round but can be seen in larger schools around Darwin Island in October and November.
- Behavior: Schools of scalloped hammerheads and occasionally smooth hammerheads gather around the islands, often in deep waters or near the islands' underwater seamounts and pinnacles. The cooler waters also support the migration of juvenile hammerheads.
- Peak Season: Manta rays can be encountered in the Galápagos year-round, but October and November are great months for sightings, especially near Wolf and Darwin.
- Behavior: Mantas are often found feeding on plankton-rich waters or gliding gracefully through the currents. Their populations around Wolf Island are notable for the sheer size of their groups.
- Year-Round Sightings: Galápagos sea lions are a constant presence. In October and November, their activity is particularly high, with pups being born and social behaviors intensifying.
- Behavior: They’re often playful and curious, approaching divers and snorkelers. Pups can be seen learning to swim and interact with the environment during this time.
- Year-Round Sightings: Marine iguanas are found on most of the Galápagos Islands. Around Darwin and Wolf Islands, they can be seen sunning themselves on rocks or feeding on algae.
- Behavior: Although they are more commonly found basking on land, they also spend time in the water, diving down to graze on algae and kelp.
- Year-Round Sightings: Both green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles are often seen in the Galápagos waters. They’re common in October and November, when the seas remain warm and clear.
- Behavior: Turtles often swim in the shallows or dive to deeper parts of the ocean. In these months, the turtle nesting season is also winding down on the beaches of the Galápagos Islands.
- October-November: You’ll find tuna, barracuda, and jacks patrolling the waters of Darwin and Wolf. They tend to congregate around the pinnacles, where they can feed on schools of smaller fish.
- Behavior: The waters are usually teeming with life, and large predatory fish often form part of the natural food chain, chasing schools of sardines or anchovies.
- Oct-November: Expect to see a rich variety of tropical fish, including parrotfish, surgeonfish, wrasses, and moray eels.
- Coral and Marine Life: Both islands are home to abundant coral reefs and rocky structures, providing shelter for smaller fish, octopuses, and even the occasional sea cucumber or giant clam.
- Wolf Island: This island is known for its deeper dive sites and more challenging conditions, but it offers dramatic underwater landscapes, with steep walls, drop-offs, and seamounts where marine life congregates.
- Darwin Island: Darwin is famous for its unique underwater seamount, where you can encounter large schools of hammerheads, whale sharks, and other pelagic species.
- Water Temperature: Water temperatures in October and November range from 22°C to 26°C (71°F to 79°F).
- Weather: These months fall between the warm season and the cool season in the Galápagos, which means the waters may still be warm, but expect some cooler currents especially around Wolf and Darwin, which might bring more nutrients and bigger predators like sharks.
