This trip will change your life by…

Getting everyone to look at the world in front of them, instead of being glued to a screen. Family time is precious, and so is the natural world. That’s why we made sure this Signature Trip will keep you outdoors — active and enjoying the fresh air.

The highlight of this trip is…

The Galapagos Islands, without a doubt. In fact, this will be one of the highlights of your lifetime. The archipelago is pure magic. You wouldn’t think seeing a turtle walk would be such a big deal, then you witness a giant tortoise lumbering across the landscape.

3 Reasons you’ll have fun…

  1. Explore humid forests. Hummingbirds hover and butterflies flutter in Mindo. Sea lions bask at Playa Mann and Punta Carola.

  2. From the landscapes of Volcano Road to snorkeling at Kicker Rock, there's something for everyone.

  3. Adult treats — a spa day complete with soaking in the hot springs of Papallacta.
