The extra time on the islands will be used to maximize opportunities for wildlife viewing and exploration. Your family will discover wildlife as you kayak around the nesting grounds at Tijeretas and spend a night camping on the beach at Manglecito. You will also have the opportunity to view the amazing underwater wildlife while snorkeling around the lava remains at Kicker Rock.
In the Andean Highlands, we’re sticking with the activities that we know kids love, including doing GPS orienteering activities and exploring Otavalo’s indigenous marketplace. You’ll have the opportunity to do a community culture activity with the Huarmi Maqui organization and also visit the Condor HUASI project and enjoy a bonfire at our Hacienda. At every turn, this itinerary offers something to keep your family active and interested.
This trip is for the adventurous family that is eager to trade the comforts of a cruise ship for a tent on a beach and a quaint bed and breakfast in order to discover the flora and fauna of the Galapagos in a unique way. If it's luxury that you're looking for, you may want to see about joining one of our cruises.

Days 2 and 3 – Andean Highlands
So many families vacation in Ecuador and don’t get to experience the beauty and adventure of the highlands. With Thomson, your family will take in all this diverse region has to offer, and may even learn a thing or two in the process. In the highlands, kids will learn how to operate a GPS device that will later be used to find a buried treasure during an orienteering activity.
