Families with children are very welcome. However, we do we suggest that your children are at least 3-4 years old. This way, they can enjoy the experience and be able to endure the cruise. Although we don’t offer special children’s programs, they will love being nearby animals, and activities such as: swimming, snorkeling and sea-kayaking.

Please remember that parents/legal guardians are responsible for their children. They must take into account that children may not undertake longer or more difficult excursions/activities.

We offer special discounts for children younger than 12 years (-20% discount for 1 child per 2 parents), as well as reduced entrances fees to the Galapagos National Park.

We recommend to have a reasonably good physical condition. Our programs are well-fitted, but you can always skip a more demanding activity and take a rest on board.
There are some trails are long and/or more difficult than others. Some have sharp lava rocks or light scrambling (especially in unspoiled remote areas as well as in Española, Genovesa and Tintoreras).

There may also be trouble while embarking and disembarking the inflatable dinghy. Especially when the tide is a bit rougher, but our crew will always be there to help you in and out safely.

In case of cancellations up to 61 days prior to departure, 30% of the total amount paid will be retained as a penalty fee. 60 days or less days prior to departure, means that 100% of the total tour rate is forfeited. If you cancel up to 121 days prior to departure you need to pay a non-refundable fee of US$ 100 pp.
