Our private Ecuador tours offer the most rewarding and luxurious ways to experience the spectacular Galapagos Islands and the many wonderful but little-known destinations in mainland Ecuador.

In the Galapagos Islands, our tours feature only the finest high-end expedition cruises and private yacht charters. Each tour includes in-depth touring with the best naturalist guides and daily opportunities for extraordinary encounters with Galapagos wildlife, such as sea lions, sea turtles, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies and penguins. Our tours also include snorkeling equipment and wetsuits for the greatest comfort while viewing wildlife in the water. Diving tours and one-day dives can also be arranged. For travelers preferring to stay on land in the Galapagos Islands, we offer tours that include accommodations at the region’s most luxurious luxury lodges combined with day cruises and excursions for wildlife viewing and snorkeling at surrounding islands.

On mainland Ecuador, our tours feature private touring with your own guide and driver. Highlights include in-depth cultural touring in Quito and Cuenca, both UNESCO World Heritage cities; visits to traditional markets in the Andes; stays at upscale, historic haciendas and luxury lodges; horseback riding in the Andean highlands; views of snow-capped volcanoes and indigenous villages while traveling on backcountry roads; bird watching, wildlife viewing and jungle walks in the Amazon region; shopping for beautiful hand-woven wool and alpaca textiles, leather goods, Tigua paintings, traditional musical instruments and other locally produced crafts; meetings with renowned artists, weavers and other local artisans; visits to local food markets; Ecuadorian cuisine cooking classes in private homes; hiking in a private nature reserve; mountain biking on the flanks of volcanoes; a visit to a condor rehabilitation center; gourmet picnics among beautiful landscapes; meals at historic haciendas with the owners; visits to a cacao plantation to see how Ecuador’s highly regarded cocoa is processed and turned into chocolate; private after-hours visits to beautiful and important churches; and much more.

Another fantastic trip! I’m convinced that you have the best guides. We really liked the boat you arranged for us in the Galapagos…And the guide that you flew out there for us was one of our favorites on the whole trip.
