Ecuador Tours & Vacations

Ecuador might be smaller than its heavyweight South American neighbors, but this country has plenty of room for nature’s most epic displays.

Blessed with a bonanza of perfect beaches and the wildlife haven of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador’s wealth of natural riches creates a one-stop shop for incredible outdoor experiences. Whether it’s spotting hummingbirds in the Amazon rainforest, seeing a condor swoop through the Andes or getting an up-close view of marine life along the coast – Ecuador is unrivaled.

Galapagos Discovery

Anna · Traveled November 2023
The Galápagos Islands were amazing, unfortunately Intrepid was not. The organisation and communication from Intrepid and our ‘trip leader’ (local guide) were definitely lacking compared to other travel brands. Several days of our trip had no trip leader at all. Optional excursions are not part of the tour so expect to be with other strangers instead of your group. However, the excursions outside of Intrepid were the highlights of my trip.

Ultimate Galapagos: Central Islands (Grand Daphne)

Eleanor · Traveled November 2023
I was blown away by how much wildlife we saw during our trip. It was extraordinary! The crew of the Grand Daphne looked after us so well that I felt like a queen. Jacinto (our guide) was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Overall the trip of a lifetime!

Ultimate Galapagos: Central Islands (Grand Daphne)

Rizwana · Traveled November 2023
Jacinto was a delightful naturalist guide, with a good sense of humour, and infinite patience with all of our questions. He seemed to have a genuine desire to have us all love and respect the islands; with our group he definitely succeeded! The crew were very helpful, friendly and made me feel very welcome (also tried to help me learn spanish). The Grand Daphne itself was great boat to be on. The chefs made spectacular and healthy meals! Most days you had 2 snorkels, and 2 hikes/panga rides. Due to the number of excursions, we saw all the animals we had hoped to see. Overall, I will definitely be recommending this trip to friends and family so they can also make unforgettable memories.
