8 Day Galapagos Family Cruise: Wildlife & Water Adventures
Discovery Private Guided Tour
Explore colonial Quito and the vibrant Galapagos Islands on this tailor-made adventure for the family! The first ever city to be named a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO, Quito is a fascinating capital with a rich history spanning over a thousand years. See first-hand the influence that indigenous tribes, the Inca and the Spanish have had over the centuries as you taste your way through the capital and its surrounding regions. Explore incredibly biodiverse rainforests along the equator, and revel in the awe-inspiring sights and sounds of the wild Ecuadorian cloud forest. In the Galapagos Islands, cruise the legendary archipelago and soiree with like-minded travelers as you hike on disparate isles, snorkel and swim in crystalline waters, and get up close and personal with the tremendous range of animals that call these remote islands home. Watch your kids' faces light up as they encounter a range of exotic animals in this real-life wonderland, keeping an eye out for Magellanic penguins, blue-footed boobies, flightless cormorants, land and marine iguanas, sea lions, sea turtles, giant tortoises and many others. It's no surprise that it was his time in the Galapagos that inspired Charles Darwin to famously write, "it appears that nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist, than a journey in distant countries."

What really matters to us
We aim to develop long term relationships – with our clients, our partners and, especially, with the communities we visit regularly. As such, our business is built on giving back. We are dedicated to preserving the land, oceans and cultures that compel us to travel.
We believe that both the customized, private-guided tours that we design and the giving partnerships we undertake should be inspiring and impactful. Our charitable initiatives are rooted in exploration, education and environmental awareness.
Encouraging exploration
A yearning for adventure and new discoveries around the globe is at the heart of all that we do. Kensington is an official travel partner of The Explorers Club, a prestigious professional society supporting research and education in the physical, natural and biological sciences.
We also support a group of intrepid storytellers from around the globe. Part of our Explorers In Residence program, these writers, photographers and filmmakers are committed to furthering our understanding of this planet and its people.
Fostering education
We believe offering access to education is one of the most powerful ways we can make a global impact. Kensington Cares is an initiative designed to support education in developing countries, including Kenya, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our efforts have helped to fund the opening of two schools in the Masai Mara: Oloosinon Primary School and Kensington Hall.
Funding environmental initiatives
We’re focused on supporting research and data collection efforts that will affect change, especially when it comes to conservation. As a founding partner of Nekton, Kensington has made an important commitment to the research and conservation of the deep ocean, our planet's last great frontier.
In accordance with 30x30, Nekton collects data and samples to set a baseline of information for the previously unexplored deep-sea waters of the Indian Ocean.
