Family Galapagos Adventure

The Best Yacht-Based Family Adventure in the Galapagos

The Galapagos Islands are home to many unique, endemic animals, most of which are fearless due to the lack of natural predators. These blue-footed boobies are daring hunters. Spotting fish beneath the water's surface, they dive in at great speed, folding their wings against their projectile-shaped bodies just before entry.

Your home on this adventure is the "Letty." Eighty-three feet long, the Letty is the best vessel in the islands for small-group nature discovery. The picture windows surrounding the upper two decks offer spectacular, panoramic views of the sea, allowing you to enjoy the remarkable sites at all times.

With options for doubles and triples, the "Letty" offers you the opportunity to choose the accommodations that best suit your family's needs.

From beginning to end, your time in the Galapagos will be filled with memorable moments. After standing on the equator in Quito, you'll snorkel with sea lions, exotic fish, and turtles in the Pacific!

Discovering graffiti dating back to the 1800s is just one aspect of Isabela that delights children. Exploring Tagus Cove by panga and observing pelicans, penguins, dolphins, and whales is another.

Seen all over the islands, sea lions are the unofficial welcoming committee of the Galapagos. Inquisitive and social, sea lions live in large colonies. Bulls can grow to be as large as seven feet in length and can weigh as much as eight hundred pounds.

As you enjoy kayaking through mangroves, keep an eye out for marine turtles, white-tipped sharks, spotted eagle rays, yellow cow-nosed rays, and the largest marine iguanas in the Galapagos.

You and your family will have the option to go camping in the highlands of Santa Cruz. Here, you may see the huge land tortoises which once flourished in the islands. They were decimated in the early 1800s by whaling ships that stopped to fill their holds with fresh meat: tortoises could be stored without food and water for up to one year. You'll learn how these tortoises are being protected today.

Bring your camera on every outing; the Galapagos are filled with photo opportunities — and opportunities to bond with your family.

A Family Galapagos Adventure lives on long after the trip ends. Just imagine the ways the islands' fascinating wildlife and natural history will inspire your budding scientists for years to come!
