Ecuador Trekking and Hiking Tours 2024/2025

“Our trip to the Galapagos Islands was an exciting, unique, and educational adventure for the whole family. Each day was ended with the thought that it couldn't possibly get any better...and then the next day it did! First, the tour operator's staff was excellent in helping us to plan and reschedule our trip (due to COVID). The booking staff and trip coordinators were responsive to all questions and concerns we had. The communication about trip preparation was excellent as well. Every single person we dealt with was polite, professional and knowledgeable, and we always received a reply in a timely manner. Once our trip actually began, we were also very well taken care of by the local guides. Pablo and Paulo were exceptional tour guides and human beings. Pablo's passion for the Galapagos Islands was infectious and his knowledge about the history, landscape, animals and plants was beyond incredible. He is a walking and talking Galapagos encyclopedia! Pablo was warm and welcoming and had a great sense of humor. He made sure we were getting the most out of each day while always keeping our safety in mind. He made sure we always knew what to expect and how to prepare for each day's adventure. While Pablo was the front man, Paolo's patience with each member of the group and tremendous work behind the scenes was instrumental to our enjoyable and worry free trip. From arranging meals and taking food orders to getting us all set up with the right equipment for snorkeling, bike riding or hiking, Paolo's attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly. Pablo and Paolo were both so friendly, personable and attentive to our group and each individual's needs. Finally, the Islands are spectacular! I have never experienced such diversity in wildlife, landscape and nature in one locale. We were able to witness sea lions, penguins, giant tortoises marine iguanas, birds, and fish up close, and we really felt like we were a part of their world. Each day brought a new surprise and experience that we could never have imagined. We are grateful and thrilled to have been able to visit such a magnificent place on earth. We are so grateful to our guides for sharing their wonderful and unique home with us.”

“Absolutely fabulous trip just as places are opening up post-Covid. I felt very comfortable with the regulations in place, especially since we were all vaccinated. The wildlife was better than I ever could have imagined and the people were so friendly and welcoming. Pepo and Paolo were the very best guides!!!”

“This truly was a holiday of a lifetime and we would have no hesitation in recommending anybody from 20's to resonably fit 70's to go on this holiday with this tour company. The age range of our group was 30 to 71 and we gelled together very well, p[robably partly because of the quality and variation of the tour, with many group activities but time for space if you needed it. Machu Picchu is amazing but then gets trumped by the Galapagos and being on the Cachalote, a schooner with only 16 births, was a huge bonus. Lovely crew, great boat and we went places that others sometimes didn't so had bays, snorkelling and some walks all to ourselves. The organisation was excellent, hotels comfortable with a good breakfast and the experience unforgetable. It was our first time with this operator but hopefully not the last.”
