Trip Overview
On this trip, a Special Children's Guide is dedicated to assisting children with activities specially designed for them!
We know this to be true: children and animals have a natural affinity for each other! We’ve all seen this wonderful phenomenon. We invite you to share one of nature’s greatest animal viewing sites with your family – the Galapagos Islands. When Charles Darwin arrived here so many years ago, he too found the animal life intriguing as it showed no fear of humans. Now, you and your family can experience this spectacular wildlife haven for yourself, frolicking amongst the same rare and friendly creatures that captivated him as he formulated his theories on evolution.
Snorkel with playful sea lions, walk amongst rookeries of dancing blue-footed boobies, and relax within an arm’s length of the famed Galapagos tortoise as these ancient creatures feed on the lush vegetation. The Galapagos Islands are a perfect destination for a family adventure.
