8 day land cruise in Galapagos, or 8 days at “beaches and dreams” with tours in Belize? My wife, two kids (12&14), and I are planning an eco adventure type vacation. Initially we had looked at Costa Rica, but got distracted by the idea of going to the Galapagos islands on a land based tour with G Adventures.

If you had to pick between Hawaii, Belize, Mexico, and The Bahamas, where would you go? And why? 🙂 We won flights on Alaska and can only go somewhere that’s on a route that doesn’t include partner airlines. These are the spots that seem most vacation-worthy, but we’re having a hard time actually making up our minds. I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has experience visiting multiple places on the list! Edit: We’re looki…
