Galapagos, September and Sea Lion Pups

If you want to see a lot of newborn sea lion pups, then you need to go to the Galapagos Islands in September.

Since we wanted to use frequent flyer miles for our air, the September timing for our visit was pretty much accidental. It was the only time that the trip schedule fit in with the airline reservations we could get. And we lucked out.

Firstly, though, I have to admit that the Spring is also an excellent time to visit the Galapagos. If you love the water, it is much warmer in the Spring due to the change in currents coming up from the Antarctic. Swimming and snorkeling is very comfortable without a wetsuit. The skies are also much clearer and the days are sunnier and hotter.

But you’ve got to go in the Fall if you want to see newborn sea lion pups. We saw some very young ones on every landing. We could have stood and watched their antics for hours. There is a rule to maintain your distance from the sea lions but, obviously, nobody told the sea lions. They would consistently wander up to inspect us. One even took a liking to my sandals. They were definitely a highlight of our trip.
