If you have children that are interested in nature and wildlife, then Galapagos is the most amazing place on this planet to explore, interact with, and truly understand nature. Fearless wildlife approaches and interacts with children regularly, and they can snorkel with sea lions, swim with marine iguanas, and marvel at 200 year old giant tortoises. How about hiking active volcanoes, walking through giant lava tubes and learning about Darwin's trip to Galapagos and the theory of evolution in front of your eyes. Some yachts have special family departures that include additional guides and activities for kids. Others offer suite accommodations, onboard swimming pools, games rooms, and more flexible meal options. Below are our top 10 Galapagos Vacations for Families as chosen by Adventure Life's Galapagos specialists. Adventure Life offers personalized trips on over 50 pre-screened yachts, ensuring a perfect match for your Galapagos family expedition.

Tips for Designing the Perfect Galapagos Family Trip

From infants to great grandparents, a trip to the enchanting Galapagos Islands can make for an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime family vacation for the entire family. 

It's a fun way to share the wonders of nature as a family and a way to devevlop a lifelong bond with friendly creatures in their natural habitat. Activities like snorkeling, swimming, & kayaking are engaging for the whole crew, and in Galapagos, a normally boring hike is transformed into a guided odyssey into a natural world surrounded by exciting creatures and exotic ecosystems. 

Ages 9 Months to 90 Years +
Because of our wide range of Galapagos tour options, children of nearly any age can be accommodated in the Galapagos. On Galapagos cruises, some yachts are better for kids than others, and safety and limited facilities onboard can be concerns for very young children, so many yachts have a minimum age of 6 or 7. Because of the difficultly of activities, our Galapagos Multisport 9-day tour has a minimum age limit of 10 years. Check with one of our Galapagos trip planners about minimum or recommended ages for any of our Galapagos tours. 

Teens
There aren't specific teen-oriented activities like one would find on a huge cruise ship in the Caribbean. The Galapagos Islands are more like a living, breathing classroom where biology and geology are experienced, not read about in a book. Any teen with a modest interest in nature, biology, evolution, volcanoes and geology won't have time to be bored in the Galapagos.  

The Grandparents
The Galapagos are very much catered to relatively active seniors well into their 80's and beyond. Most hikes are short.
