Onboard the Ecoventura fleet, we offer designated family departures geared toward families who prefer to travel with other families with children, teenagers, college-age, and multi-generational.
An unforgettable experience
Luxury family departures coincide with major school breaks and offer exclusive activities tailored to different age groups, ensuring a memorable experience for all generations in the Galapagos.
During departures with teenagers, the pace of excursions is faster and activities are more physically demanding, including longer hikes, extended kayaking trips, and additional snorkeling opportunities. Families with younger children can enjoy beach tine and water activities. On board the crew organizes a treasure hunt adventure, pajama movie nights, chef-led pizza making party and towel origami. This serves as just some ways we customize each family departure to suit the age groups of our guests.
2026 Special Sailing Dates
Discover the Galápagos together on select family-oriented departures aboard one of our three identical luxury expedition yachts: Origin, Theory, or Evolve. Designed for families traveling together, these sailings often welcome multi-generational groups, creating shared experiences that inspire connection and lasting memories. At least one yacht per date is exclusively designated for families, with limited availability — particularly during Spring Break and Festive weeks.
