Activities For All Ages

Galapagos Island Vacations Offers Activities For All Ages

Enjoy Family Adventure on Galapagos Island Cruises


Galapagos Cruises is a dream vacation in an exotic location, offering just the right activity level and interest for any age.  The Galapagos Explorer II provides information before your family departs, on board the boat, and once your group begins touring the islands through a myriad of activities.  And the beauty of a Galapagos island vacation is the fusion between activities that can span the generations, keeping the family together for much of the trip!

The Galapagos Explorer II offers tours twice daily, anything from walking tours to beach activities.  Bird watching as one of the Galapagos Tours, for example, is not like bird watching anywhere else on the planet.  Our naturalist trained tour guides show off the beauty while spotting different species that often have undergone unique adaptations for each island.  Because some of the birds are so unusual, indigenous and dramatic, a preschooler, his or her parents and grandparents alike, are easily impressed.

Beach walks that highlight turtles or crabs are also likely to capture the entire family’s interest and imagination.  Plus, hiking further in the interior of an island can precipitate many a family discussion once back on board the Explorer II over dinner.  What must have been Charles Darwin’s experience really like?  How can you imagine viewing the wildlife he viewed himself, generations ago?

Glass bottom boats provide just-under-the-surface marine life viewed by all in the family as well.  Groups are no larger than 16 and because of the intimate size that is maintained, the entire family can enjoy the Galapagos Islands Vacations as a unit.

Because Galapagos Cruises offers sports for any level of difficulty or interest, those family members, regardless of age, can participate in the natural beauty and unique habitats that they are most interested in and comfortable with.  For example, snorkeling as a learning sport can span the generations.  Scuba diving is available for those in the family that are trained and more adventurous.

In short, a rich variety of activities abound for families traveling to this beautiful destination; truly a once-in-a-lifetime Galapagos Island Vacations for the discerning family travelers.
