When kids outgrow a day at the zoo yet families still long for a connection with nature and wildlife, it’s time to book a vacation to the Galápagos Islands. The colorful, unique wildlife enthralls children, and both the weather and the variety of species make it a year-round kid-friendly destination. To experience the best in accommodations and adventure, opt for a 4- or 7-night luxury cruise, which will allow you to island-hop and mix educational experiences with watersports. If your family is less sailor and more landlubber, then try out a kid-friendly ecolodge, where both animals and children are truly free-range.
