About Us
We started organizing our trips to Ecuador and the Galapagos in 1998 out of a desire to share our passion and knowledge of these amazing and unique corners of our planet. Our mission is to bring alive the wonder of these places for the people that travel with us and create an experience that will stay with them long after the holiday has ended.
Personal and individual service is at the heart of what we do. We genuinely love organizing our group expeditions and individual holidays, sharing our knowledge and getting to know our guests and their individual needs long before the trip even begins.
Crucial to our success is our expertise and intimate knowledge of Ecuador and the Galapagos. This knowledge, borne of years of living and working in Ecuador and the Galapagos, means we work with only the best local operators and the finest naturalists and biologist guides, the majority of whom we have known personally for many years.
The yachts we use have been hand-picked for their exceptional service; great food, friendly crews, knowledgeable captain and comfortable cabins.
We get great pleasure from sharing Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands with new people each year. We hope that we can share them with you too.
Please contact us for the names and numbers of people who have travelled with us.
