Adventure Life designs Galapagos family trip itineraries that turn a vacation into an unforgettable learning journey.
A trip to the enchanting Galapagos Islands can make for an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime Galapagos Islands family vacation.
It's a fun way to share the wonders of nature as a family and a way to develop a lifelong bond with friendly creatures in their natural habitat. Activities like snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking are engaging for the whole crew, and in Galapagos, a normally boring hike is transformed into a guided odyssey into a natural world surrounded by exciting creatures and exotic ecosystems.
Because of our wide range of Galapagos family tours, children of nearly any age can be accommodated in the Galapagos. On Galapagos cruises, some yachts are better for kids than others, and safety and limited facilities onboard can be concerns for very young children, so many yachts have a minimum age of 6 or 7. Because of the difficulty of activities, our Galapagos Multisport 9-day tour has a minimum age limit of 10 years. Check with one of our Galapagos Trip Planners about minimum or recommended ages for any of our Galapagos family vacation tours.
There aren't specific teen-oriented activities like one would find on a huge cruise ship in the Caribbean. The Galapagos Islands are more like a living, breathing classroom where biology and geology are experienced, not read about in a book. Any teen with a modest interest in nature, biology, evolution, volcanoes and geology won't have time to be bored during a Galapagos family trip.
The Galapagos are very much catered to relatively active seniors well into their 80's and beyond. Most hikes are short.
Every day during a Galapagos Islands family vacation brings new adventures designed with families in mind. Whether you’re traveling by cruise or staying on land, expect:

These experiences are designed to be both fun and educational for children on Galapagos family tours with Adventure Life.
The Galapagos Islands are a year-round destination, but the best months for family travel are June to August and December to January, coinciding with school breaks and generally calm seas. Wildlife is active year-round, and Adventure Life offers Galapagos family tours tailored to the season and your schedule.
Although the Galapagos can be amazing for families with older kids and teens, it is generally not ideal for very young children under about age 6. Many small‑ship yachts have a minimum age requirement of 6 or 7 years. These restrictions are rooted in safety: the nature of daily activities (e.g. guided hikes, snorkeling, zodiac boat transfers) and limited facilities onboard make the experience unsuitable for toddlers or preschoolers. Contact us to see what kind of Galapagos family vacation is feasible for your family.
It’s recommended to book your Galapagos family vacation at least 6 to 12 months in advance, especially during peak travel seasons (summer and holidays). Booking early ensures access to the best cabins, family-friendly itineraries, and preferred travel dates on Adventure Life’s Galapagos family tours.
