Santa Cruz is also teeming with natural and biological phenomena, and features the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Galapagos National Park. Celebrity Xpedition cruise itineraries include both Dragon Hill and Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz for excellent reasons. Dragon Hill is a primary nesting site for land iguanas. Puerto Ayora on the southern shore is the place to spot birds such as pelicans and boobies. Marine iguanas can be seen on virtually any beach, and just about all of the birds of the archepelago can be viewed on Santa Cruz. There are sea lions aplenty on Eden Island, and the massive mangrove lagoon of Caleta Tortuga Negra is where mangrove turtles frequently swim!

    When is the best time to Sail to Santa Cruz and the Galapagos Islands?

    While expert sources maintain that there really is no bad season for a cruise to the Galapagos Islands, some months are stillSanta Cruz on Galapgos Islands cruises considered better than others. Because the Galapagos Islands literally straddle the Equator, there are only two seasons... dry season and wet season. -And unlike most locations in the world, wet season is actually preferable to dry. The rains are generally short lived afternoon cloud bursts, and then the sky becomes robin's egg blue.

    Transition zones between seasons (April through June, and November through January) are the very best times to visit Santa Cruz and other Galapagos Island ports because this is when the migratory birds, the marine iguanas, the albatrosses, and the sea lions are most active. Also, these are best times for snorkeling because the water's warmer. The prime month to see Santa Cruz is May, and the worst time to cruise to the Galapagos Islands can be in August and September. In late summer and fall, the ocean tends to become choppy, there are more sea surges, and shore excursions are more likely to be canceled as a result. Cruise lines keep safety paramount, so don't be surprised if your cheaper fare in late summer turns out to be only a good deal on paper! "Buyer Beware" is a great rule of thumb, and for most of us, those shore excursions on cruises to the Galapagos Islands are the priority.  

    Prices tend to be highest in December, which lies squarely in the transition period between Dry and Wet season, and is a holiday month as well.
