Galapagos Family Adventure Holiday

Mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands are the settings for the adventure of a lifetime with kids – one introducing all the family to incredible creatures you literally won't find anywhere else on the planet.

Our Galapagos family holidays will take you to some of these awe-inspiring islands to see some of the world's rarest animals, including giant tortoises. Activities might include visiting the Charles Darwin Research Station and observing the world's second-largest sea-lion colony. This really is an extra-special adventure holiday for families, combining education with inspiration – even children as young as five can explore as Charles Darwin once did. 

A land-based itinerary such as the sample one we've shared below is perfect with younger kids and those who can't swim well. Or on family-specific Galapagos cruises, you'll be boat-based, sharing a vessel and making friends with like-minded families. Some have child-friendly guides and kids’ dishes at meal times. Activities include island stop-offers and the likes of kayaking, snorkelling, star-gazing and glass-bottomed boat-trips, depending on your cruise. We can also book you a private yacht.

What follows is just one example of the itineraries we can offer in Ecuador and the Galapagos, beginning in Ecuador's capital Quito with the chance to take in its historic sites. We can also add on more days before your Galapagos adventure, or after it, so you can explore Quito and its surrounds in greater depth. 

Or we can take you further afield in mainland Ecuador, tailor-making you a private itinerary of any duration, just for your family, including tours by local guides. Accommodation might be in small family-run hotels, haciendas or hosterias (inns) and jungle lodges, depending on where you go.
