Over the decades, GO Galapagos has expanded its portfolio to include the expedition boutique ship Galapagos Legend and the superyachts Coral I and Coral II, while also developing carefully designed land programs across mainland Ecuador.

Aboard the Galapagos Legend, families benefit from spacious family cabins and interconnected rooms, a dedicated Kid’s Corner, a child-friendly pool, and generous social areas and open decks. Our excursions and onboard activities are adapted for children, teens, and multi-generational travelers, led by bilingual, certified naturalist guides who specialize in engaging younger guests through storytelling, interactive learning, and wildlife interpretation.
