This period is great for those seeking a relaxing beach holiday with reliable sunshine.For travellers interested in whale watching, the peak season is from June to September. Humpback whales migrate to the warmer waters off the Ecuadorian coast to breed, offering excellent opportunities to see these magnificent creatures. Many local operators offer boat trips specifically for this purpose, departing from nearby Salinas or Montañita.Conversely, the wet season, from January to April, brings higher humidity and more frequent rainfall, though showers are often brief. While still warm, the weather can be less predictable.
