Our local specialist, Daniel, went above and beyond to ensure that our time in Ecuador was fun, safe, and packed with adventure. All of the guides we interacted with were knowledgeable about the area and were very friendly and fun to be around. Danny was our guide for the first two days of our time in Quito.

We really enjoyed our day trip and hike at Quilato Crater. This is a definite must for people making plans. I would also recommend going to the Mindo cloud forest.
And of course our time in the Galapagos was epic. I would like to have had more time to spend there. I'm sure someday we'll go back.

Exploring an Uninhabited Island
Puerto Ayora
Activity Review
You start the day early with a dingy ride to the sailboat you will be spending the next three hours on to get to the destination. It's worth it!
The snorkeling was fantastic. We saw many white tipped sharks and so much other wildlife.
Food
Couldn't believe the cook could make such unbelievable dishes in such a small kitchen!
Transport
The boat could use a bit more shade and comfortable seating for such a long trip
Guides, drivers and staff
The boat crew were on top of it!
Biking from Cotopaxi to Quilotoa Day 1
Ecuador
Activity Review
This is a perfect way to get up close and personal with Cotopaxi volcano. But be ready for very high altitude hiking. The guides help keep the pace slow.
