Socorro - last week of May

[Layla]

I have the opportunity to take some time off work [finally]

I've been to Galapagos and Cocos and loved them both

Is the end of May an ok time of the year to visit Socorro, or should I look to go some place else

My dates are really restricted to last week May + first week June [aprox]

Thanks

Layla

try reposting in liveaboards. You will find an ongoing discussion about Socorro. Most boats I believe do not do trips that late in the year but I believe the Nautilus was exploring the idea.
