Your Port Excursion Planner
We’re putting the finishing touches on your port excursions, and this page is where we’ll match your family with the best options for our group. All excursions are optional but highly recommended, and are designed to be fun, educational, and memorable for both kids and adults.
Instead of cruise line tours, we partner with small, family-run local operators so your money supports the communities we visit. All our excursions are private to our group, and our guides are carefully chosen for their ability to lead fun, engaging, and meaningful experiences for world-schooled kids.
Below you’ll find the proposed excursions with approximate per-person prices. Final rates will depend on how many families join each tour.
