FAQs for travelling as a family

  • Can kids travel on a cruise?

    Absolutely. But when choosing a cruise, it is important to consider which vessel you will sail on. Some smaller, more luxury vessels cater only to seniors and couples.

  • How do you get to the Galapagos?

    You must fly to the Galápagos from Mainland Ecuador. To ensure you are relaxed, we recommend having at least two nights in Quito or Guayaquil at the start of you trip. Read more about getting to the Galápagos here.

  • Are all activities suitable for children?

    It depends on how old your children are and their confidence in the water. Most activities off the ship are suitable with supervision.

  • When is the best time to go with children?

    The warm season (December–May) often brings calmer waters and warmer weather, making it a more comfortable experience and less chance of sea sickness
