Description of Galapagos tailor made family holiday, hotel based
This Galapagos family holiday is a tailor made tour, based on a carefully crafted itinerary that makes sure you and your children experience the wildlife and natural heritage of these unique islands. There is plenty of adventure and fun as well as time for chilling out at some of their most exquisite beaches and small hotels.
Starting on the main island of Santa Cruz, home to the Charles Darwin Research Centre, you can learn what the Galapagos’ natural heritage is all about. Then, relax at the beach, snorkel to see the island’s marine life just outside Puerto Ayora and keep a lookout for the island’s famous sea lions.
The second island of your stay is Isabela, the largest island in the Galápagos but also the newest geologically and home to six active volcanoes. It is also home to flamingo filled mangroves, penguins, and marine iguanas, sea turtles and penguins, some of which you will hopefully see on a boat trip around the island to Cape Rosa.
With one more night on Santa Cruz Island before flying back to Ecuador from its airport at Baltra, enjoy some more chill out time at Tortuga Bay where you can swim, surf or just soak up the wonders of this Galapagos trip of a lifetime.
Please note that we recommend this itinerary for children of seven years and above. However as it is tailor made, we can tailor the itinerary to shorten days or trips, depending on your interests and age ranges.

Projects supported by the Trust have included conservation of endangered species, monitoring fish stocks, research into housing development and consideration of future water-resource pressures, with projects involving communities across the Galápagos.
We encourage travellers to reduce waste and resource consumption during their stay. Measures include using refillable water bottles, recycling waste where facilities are available, taking used batteries home for appropriate disposal, conserving water, and reducing electricity consumption by switching off lights and limiting air-conditioning when it is not necessary.
