Quasar Expeditions has introduced a new Galapagos itinerary specifically designed for children with autism and their families to experience the natural wonders of these amazing Ecuadorian islands. The seven-night sailing departs on June 24, 2023, and will be limited to 32 guests.  It will be led by a special needs expert who designed elements of the trip with quiet zones aboard the expedition yacht, comfort supplies (like weighted blankets, beanbag animals, and fidget spinners), and evening parental discussion groups.  The trip is sailing on the 192 ft. Evolution yacht which has spacious social areas, an oversized jacuzzi, and a dive deck.  There will be opportunities to snorkel, kayak, hike, and go on panga boat rides. All along the way, your family will see many of the Galapagos’ endemic species, like marine iguanas, fur seals, penguins, and giant tortoises. The ship will sail round-trip from San Cristobal Island with stops including Santiago Island, Prince Phillip’s Steps, Floreana Island, and Santa Cruz Island to visit the Wild Land Tortoises Reserve and Charles Darwin Research Station’s Breeding Center.
