A Family Natural History Tour of Ecuador and the Galapagos

Suited more to families with older children (8-11), this itinerary reveals the remarkable variety of Ecuador’s diverse natural history. First comes an excellent jungle lodge in deepest Amazonia. Next a visit to the upland cloud forests should reveal prolific greenery and splendidly colourful birdlife. Then cruise the Galapagos islands aboard one of three identical, 83-feet sister vessels, each with 20 passengers and full air-conditioning. A limited number of special family cruises are available – please contact us for dates as they tend to fill fast.  Find out more...

Ecuador And Galapagos In Considerable Comfort And Style

This luxury programme is all about the Enchanted Islands, and will appeal to families  wishing to explore the Galapagos without mainland Ecuador, thereby avoiding a significant amount of travelling by using Guayaquil rather than Quito as the arrival point. After some relaxing acclimatisation at the pleasant Finch Bay Hotel near Puerto Ayora, embark on a full week’s cruise aboard the spacious 48-passenger yacht La Pinta – perhaps the most luxurious option available in the islands – with inter-connecting cabins and its unique ‘Young Pirates’ programme of activities tailored for children seven years and older. There is no better way for families to appreciate these magical islands. Find out more...
