Where Education Meets Adventure!
Unlock the wonders of the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador with our specially designed Galapagos Student Tours. There’s no better place to dive into the world of Darwin, wildlife, and evolution than this living laboratory.
However, we understand that the Galapagos can seem out of reach for many young people. That’s why we’ve made it our Galapex mission to make student vacations in the Galapagos accessible and affordable. Galapex does just that.
An Unforgettable Educational Experience
Our tours offer an unforgettable educational experience, bringing classroom concepts to life as students explore the unique ecosystems of the Galapagos, Ecuador’s Cloud Forest and the Amazon Jungle.
These hands-on learning adventures not only deepen their understanding of biology and environmental science but also inspire the next generation of ambassadors for our planet’s natural heritage.
Join us for a transformative journey that combines learning with the thrill of exploration in one of the most extraordinary destinations on Earth – the Galapagos Islands.
