This species inhabits a variety of habitats across the islands, including rocky coasts, arid lowlands, and volcanic slopes. Unlike many other hawks, the Galápagos hawk is adapted to the island's diverse environments and can be found at various elevations from sea level to higher elevations where vegetation is more lush. Their range includes several islands within the archipelago, where they play a significant role as apex predators in the local food chain.
