Ecuador Safari Tours 2024/2025

“The trip was one of my most amazing holidays ever, the wildlife surpassed all expectations, the scenery on mainland Ecuador was excellent. Despite the start of the rainy season, we were very lucky, the clouds cleared so we could see Cotopaxi and some other volcanoes. My only criticism, is that the walks on the mainland could have been a little longer!”

“The trip was all arranged by the tour operator and I cant fault the organisation, it was faultless throughout the whole Journey.The Cachalote Explorer was fine, its not a super luxury motor yacht (its correctly advertised as a first class motor yacht) being a converted fishing boat, but the accommodation was perfectly adequate and the crew were very friendly and super efficient. The rooms were cleaned daily with clean towels by Martin who was also the waiter and bar man, and very good at it to. The chef was very good and was delighted to help one of our vegan passengers with different dishes every meal (which she often shared with the rest of us! Lol)The ship is a little noisy when travelling at night with the engines running, but I had some noise suppressing head phones that dealt with this. No one else really complained and I guess you soon get used to it after a tiring dayThe food was very well presented in buffet style for breakfast lunch and evening meal and there was always plenty of food. In between meals there is a tray of bananas, fruits and various biscuits and snacksWould I book it again, certainly yes without hesitation”

“This trip was a life-changing experience that allowed me to experience such a diverse continent with multiple cultures. Moreover, it enabled me to witness some of the most spectacular landscapes and scenery I have ever seen in the world.”
