Ecuador Adventure

Overview

Description

Ecuador Adventure has been a Top Adventure operator since 1991. We were the first to offer multisport and trekking adventures in the Galapagos and today our adventures span into nearly every corner of this diverse country (Andes, Amazon, coast, and Galapagos), providing a combination of quality, comfort, and value that has made us Ecuador’s #1 adventure tour operator. We offer exclusive tours and routes such as Huaorani Amazon Kayak Expedition and Epic Treks of the Andes & Amazon, as well as rafting, mountain bike, kayaking, trekking, and multisport tours. We also deliver quality volunteer adventures, outdoor incentives, adventure-based events, and steam train tours.

Join us and discover Ecuador’s most astonishing landscapes, wildlife, adventure, and a unique blend of traditions, sights, sounds, and flavors.

Making a Difference

Ecuador Adventure's tours are socially and environmentally committed to sustainable ecotourism practices. We are proud board members of the Ecuadorian Ecotourism & Adventure Association (ASEC), where our general manager serves as the President. Through ASEC, we are able to contribute to Ecuador's tourism industry at both an operational and political level.

We organize tours with small groups, avoiding areas which are under-managed or over-visited to ensure richer experiences and minimal environmental impact. As a policy, we use meticulous recycling, trash, and water management both on our tours and in our office.

Our trip costs and fees contribute to the welfare of local communities and the conservation of their natural environment, as we help develop skills in the local people and empower them to direct their communities towards sustainable futures. In the Galapagos, our land-based tours have become a model for tourism, as 70% of the funds are redistributed within the local Galapagos economy.
