Galapagos Family Cruise

HIGHLIGHTS

• Spend a full day immersed in the historical wonders of Quito, Ecuador. Try to spot the cathedral’s tortoise-shaped gargoyles and learn how to make an Ecuadorean quesadilla.
• Visit the Charles Darwin Research Center to learn about the life cycle and conservation of the Galapagos Tortoise. With oh-so-cute babies aplenty and loads of educational info, there is something for everyone.
• Marvel at penguins, marine iguanas, and seals – not to mention myriad fish – while snorkeling off Isabela and Floreana Islands.
• For those too young (or old) to snorkel, the Santa Cruz II is equipped with glass-bottomed boats which make the submarine wonders of the Pacific accessible to all.
• Witness an enormous colony of marine iguanas on the desolate, moon-like landscapes of Fernandina Island. Next, see their landlubbing cousins on the aptly named Dragon Hill.
• Fill your free time during our Galapagos family cruises with activities including walks along the beach, tanning on the decks or kayaking in the Pacific Ocean.
• The whole family will love the trippy shoreline of Cormorant Bay whose sands sparkle green thanks to the high level of olivine crystals.
• As part of the Young Pirates program, kids enjoy child-specific meals (and meal times), movies and activities (everything from bracelet weaving to stargazing)
