Why Kids Love Galapagos Cruises
A Galapagos Cruise Can Be A Child's Best Adventures
A Galapagos Cruise mixes the best of adventure with science, leaving children wide-eyed and invigorated. The archipelago is home to tens of thousands of animals, plants, and birds throughout the pristine, nearly primordial environment known as nature’s best example of a ‘zoo without walls’. What’s more, the range of Galapagos cruises we offer from three, four, or seven night cruise options offers kids’ activities on board the ship as well as providing exciting land and marine adventures twice daily.
Like a child who can ‘have its cake and eat it too’, Galapagos Explorer offers the Young Naturalist Program which includes a special souvenir package upon arrival, snacks and treats each day in the cabin, and a whole host of activities kids can enjoy on board the vessel. We even offer a “Pirates Birthday Party” for seven to twelve year olds complete with birthday cake, hot dogs, snacks, drinks, games and animation.
Of course the highlight of any Galapagos cruise for kids is visiting the Islands themselves and seeing ‘up close and personally’ the rich array of wildlife walking around among its visitors. While there is a ‘no touching’ policy, being eyeball to eyeball with a giant tortoise or land iguana is breathtaking and often a life-altering experience no matter a child’s age. It is like living in a Disney movie for a short period of time.
The Young Naturalist Program provides free snorkeling equipment for kids. Enjoying a Galapagos Cruise and viewing marine life is equally exciting. Imagine swimming with a sea lion. Or hearing the animated calls of a bottle-nosed dolphin while slicing through the water. Kids who have come to the Galapagos Islands often grow up to return, sharing the science and pleasure of it all with their own children.
Galapagos Cruises are the perfect vacation for families. They incorporate the best of onboard excitement with the adventure of twice daily land or marine excursions to an unforgettable destination for children of all ages. It is truly an astonishing place and one you’ll likely never forget.
