Kids in Nature
The Best Playground on Earth
Your entire family can enjoy adventure travel in one of nature’s most diverse playgrounds on our special "Kids in Nature" cruises.
Activities for All Ages
The opportunities are endless. Whether your family wants to kayak, walk on a remote beach, snorkel in aqua waters, or enjoy a mule ride in traditional ranchero style, you’ll find that our adventure is a blast! You’ll hop from shore-to-shore by shore boat, view whales directly off the bow and sea lions along the coastline. Then there’s checking in on the musical antics under the sea via the underwater Hydrophone and underwater camera. All of these activities offer an exceptional experience for the whole family. WE GUARANTEE…NO ONE WILL BE BORED!
Learning and Fun
Far from the typical family vacation getaway, a yacht cruise provides kids a fun way to learn about nature and other cultures. With one crew member for every two guests, kids and adults alike are accompanied on a variety of personal-choice excursions while the yacht is at anchor in our destinations. In a rare introduction to wilderness lifestyles, kids and the entire family will meet and interact with local residents of remote island communities.
Memories to Share
At the end of a week of up-close adventure, the crew will present each family member with a photo disc of several hundred images to share and reminisce for years to come. Each child 12 and under will receive other mementos of their various explorations.
Special Pricing
Kids 12 years of age and under save 25% off the published rate on all Kids in Nature departures on Aquarium of the World cruises. These are February 26 and March 26, 2011, and March 3 and March 24, 2012.

Some Questions Answered
My kids are so active. Are they going to go stir crazy on a boat for a week?
On the contrary, kids kayak, hike, snorkel, examine star fish in their hand with the help of the Expedition Leader/Naturalist and learn about nature from all of the crew members. They help the Chef make cookies and create arts and crafts with materials supplied by the assisting crew. Like adults, they love seeing whales, sea lions, dolphins, colorful fish, and all kinds of wildlife close off the bow of the yacht or inflatable launch. Rope swings, tubing, water skiing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, beachcombing, cave searches, burro trail rides and other adventures await kids and adults alike. Kids enjoy the hot tubs, games, kid-friendly DVDs and books available onboard.
With so many varied activities at their fingertips, kids tend to forget that Nintendo even exists.
I'm worried about my kids disrupting the cruise for others. Will my kids be bored?
To ensure that everyone enjoys their yacht experience, we generally set aside special departures under our "Kids in Nature" program for families with kids 12 years of age and under. Educational and fun activities aided by take-home equipment provided by the Expedition Leaders keep the kids happy and busy. Bored - no; exhausted at the end of each day from kayaking, hiking and snorkeling - yes! Parents truly appreciate the all-out effort to ensure their kids come away with a well-rounded outdoor vacation.
What is the youngest age child that you can accommodate?
There is no age restriction. Families with kids between infancy and about five-years-old most often choose to book a private charter or take advantage of one of our "Kids in Nature" select departures. Life jackets are provided onboard for kids age five years and above (about 70 pounds and up). For younger children, it works best for parents to bring a custom-sized life jacket from home.
