The National park Galápagos is an ideal place to explore and experience the unique animal world there. Here you can approach the fearless, but nevertheless not domesticated wild animals very closely. Birdwatching is a very special experience. On the one hand you have the variety of birds and on the other hand the fact that some species are endemic. As the Galápagos islands are founded on volcanic formations you will be able to experience a breath-taking as well as a moon landscape scenery . |

Since we represent more than 55 different boats including motor yachts, sailing yachts, cruise ships and catamarans varying in category from economic to luxury class and with a choice in many different itineraries we are able to organize for you an optimal tour on the Galápagos islands . As we have such a broad spectrum of boats, we can offer departures every day for 4-, 5- and 8-day cruises. You should not miss an expedition to Galápagos while this is one of the last eco-systems on earth.
Scuba diving:
The diving sites of the Galápagos islands belong to the best of South America and even the whole world. You can dive in the Pacific Ocean among seaturtles, hammerhead sharks, manta rays, moraines, sealions, penguins and with a little bit of luck even dolphins and wales. Every dive is guided by well-trained and experienced dive master guides and instructors. Our live board diving cruises include expeditions to the Darwin and Wolf islands.
River rafting in Ecuador :
Wildwater-rafting in Ecuador is a unique experience and at the same time an exciting adventure. Our tour program covers rafting tours from 1 to 8 days on Ecuadors wild water rivers which originate in the snow-capped volcanoes and flow down towards the coast or deep into the Amazon jungle. The rafting boat is led by an experienced captain. Special previous knowledges are not required. The safety regulations for a trouble-free course of rafting are learned easily. For your security we provide during every rafting excursion rescue kayaks so you can enjoy this experience without any worries.

Our program offers a broad spectrum of jungle excursions in Ecuador and South America from luxury lodges to expeditions in tents. In both cases we as a tour operator take care of an excellent organization of the tours. We provide multi-lingual naturalist guides, who know the Amazon jungle best and who will explain you all the secrets of the mysterious jungle, as well as native guides who are born in the jungle and know every corner of it. The size of the groups is between six and ten people. The groups are so small in order to keep the impact of tourism as low as possible.
Light until moderate Andes trekking:
We offer these trekking tours between 3-5 days through the Andean highlands (open Andean grasslands of South America on 2500- 4500 meter height) with overnight stays in tents. During these trekking tours you will admire wonderful sceneries with a variety of Andean flora and fauna and the possibility exists to even see some condors drifting by. Your luggage is carried by packhorses and you only have to carry your light daypack. On the plateaus in the Andes we normally follow good paths, which can also change into cross country and even swamps. For these trekkings you should be in relatively good shape (daily 4-6 hours of walking) and be able to adjust also mentally on physical demands.
Demanding trekkings and expeditions:
These adventure tours are only for good mountain hikers or persons who have experience with mountain climbing as they lead on Andean trails on great heights. On long distances of these trekkings there are immense differences in height to overcome. The overnight stays take place in tents. In these areas of the Andes there are no packhorses so that you have to carry your luggage yourself during the trekking. The participants of these trekking tours must be physically and mentally very fit to adjust fast to the changing circumstances. However, for these efforts you are rewarded with a unique animal- and plant world like pumas, tapirs or spectacle bears.
Mountainbiking:
The geographical diversity of Ecuador offers a variety of possibilities for mountain biking tours. We offer tours through almost untouched nature or long biking tours from the Andes that will bring you into the deeper regions of the jungle and the coast. We offer extreme off-road adventures for everybody, from beginners in the world of biking until a real professional. While mountain biking you can get to know Ecuador from different sides because you will also reach remote spots. If you are physically fit and have some experience, it is even possible to cross the whole country from the jungle over the Andes to the Pacific coast. In whatever tour you might be interested, our service (4WD escort car, etc.) and our bikes (high-quality equipment) guarantee a relaxed and unforgettable biking experience.
Horseback riding:
As we only use reliable, good-natured horses from which some of them are extremely calm and other ones full of temperament, our tours are suitable for beginners and children as well as for experienced riders. Nevertheless we rather advise beginners to take short tours because the unusual muscular demands and concentration while riding can become demanding in the long run. For longer rides you should have at least some experience, a good physical shape as well as a healthy thirst for adventure. On most tours partly difficult sections must also be vercome by foot. The weight of the participants should not exceed 195 pounds.
