Planning a family adventure to the Galapagos? Whether you’re traveling with little ones, teens, adults, or grandparents, these tips will help you create unforgettable memories together.
Why the Galapagos is Perfect for Multi-generational Travel
Walking ashore the Galapagos is like stepping into a realm where each generation discovers something amazing. While teens snorkel and dive into adventure, children’s eyes grow at curious sea lions; adults savor the tranquility of the islands; and seniors move at their own speed taking in the beauty.
Our luxury Galapagos Expedition Cruises guarantee every instant may be shared through several generations. These are the stories families tell for a lifetime: grandchildren seeing enormous tortoises for the first time or teenagers giggling while kayaking along energetic sea lions.
