Unlike many other eco-tourism
destinations, the Galapagos are particularly suitable for children
(though the National Park System asks that visitors be at least 7
years old to protect the wildlife, the nesting habitats, and the
welfare of the child). They are also suitable for more senior
travellers for similar reasons, these being:
-
Cruising in such an environment
means that it is the passengers who are "in the cage" and the
wildlife outside free to roam.
-
The boats and ships move around
readily from island to island making travel very relaxed and
comfortable, always surrounded by full facilities and the
freedom to move around the vessel.
-
Conversely with many cruises
however, shore-trips are regular and there are not protracted
periods of sailing in open sea.
-
Activities are on the basis of
doing as much as you want, if you simply don't want to join an
excursion, you don't need to, pick and choose according to
ability and preference.
-
Certain cruises are specifically
aimed at families with family oriented facilities and activities
and of course a greater chance that there will be other children
on the vessel for new found friends - always a boon for the
parent on holiday!
