Plan the timing
The islands follow warmer and cooler ocean-influenced seasons. Compare sea conditions, rainfall and the wildlife you hope to see, rather than expecting four temperate seasons.
Seasonal guidance, not a forecast. Photographs illustrate the destination, not conditions in a particular season.

Discuss the warmer season with your operator, including water conditions, rainfall and the activities that matter most.

A little clarity now, so you can plan with confidence.
Each card opens a supplier offer. Review its itinerary, dates, price, and inclusions, then ask Gloria to confirm the details for your trip. Experiences elsewhere on this page are ideas and may not be included in an offer.
Supplier-provided journeys that match the destination and selected filters. Where an attraction has few matches, we also show broader destination results, clearly labeled. A journey mentioning a place is not necessarily an admission ticket or a visit to it. Check the itinerary, inclusions, dates and availability.
Choose the length around the places and experiences you want, allowing for arrival, transfers and days at a slower pace. Gloria can help compare a focused stay with a broader itinerary.
Compare the warmer and cooler ocean-influenced seasons with the wildlife, water activities and sea conditions you prefer. Choose the route and departure with current local advice; no date guarantees a particular sighting.
Start with the places you want to explore and the daily pace you prefer. Compare location, transport, facilities and accessibility before choosing accommodation.
Prioritize the accommodation, transport and experiences that matter most, then confirm their operating dates and reservation requirements.
Match the accommodation, transport and activities to your children’s ages, interests and needs. Confirm age limits and accessibility directly with each provider.
