About this trip
This is an 8-day land-based trip through the Galápagos built for families, mixing wildlife encounters with proper outdoor activity rather than just bus-window sightseeing.
You'll snorkel, hike, kayak and swim across different islands, getting close to the marine life and landscapes that make the archipelago what it is.
There's a clear conservation thread too, with visits to a giant tortoise breeding centre and the Charles Darwin Research Station, so the kids come away with more than just holiday photos.
What you'll do
- Snorkel among Galápagos marine life
- Hike across volcanic island terrain
- Kayak along the coastline
- Visit a giant tortoise breeding centre
- See conservation work at the Charles Darwin Research Station
- Multi-activity pace, so expect a mix of physical days rather than pure relaxation
- Land-based itinerary, so you're moving between islands rather than staying on a boat throughout
- Designed with families in mind, including kids on this one
