Q. – What kind of trips does ALL OF ECUADOR offer? We have researched the entire country, traveling extensively, harvesting wonderful, close relationships with community locals throughout. All of this so that we can give you the most authentic, personalized, flexible, unforgettable experience possible. Whether you are the type of traveler that likes to relax by a fireplace at a 200-year old hacienda, play in the sun at a beach resort, travel the Stunning Andes by horseback, private vehicle or hiking, river-raft while being surrounded by jaw-dropping, ever-changing scenery, experience the Undiscovered Tropical Rainforest, explore nature at its finest in the Galapagos Islands, immerse yourself in authentic cultural experiences, or all of the above….you can now do it your way. We can help you put it all together, you can choose from one of our Past Clients’ Experiences, or you can even create an experience yourself! We also offer “The Best of Peru”, all with the same flexibility and high standards that we are known for in Ecuador. We encourage you to enjoy our web site and begin your Extraordinary Experience in Ecuador and the Best of Peru. Q. - Will I have private transport? Q. – Can we travel in a large group? Q. – What if I am traveling alone?A. – No problem. We will, as always, help you create the perfect tailor-made experience for you in which we can include different ways to travel, including some options for sharing accommodations that will help you reduce your costs. Q. – Do you have certain difficulty levels for activities? Q. – Do you have a range in levels of comfort? The yachts that we offer in the Galapagos Islands do have a marked range in comfort levels. Cruising in the Galapagos remains an adventure-oriented experience, especially on the smaller boats (16 passenger). Some yachts have more social space than others, and some have more cabin space as well. Usually, the larger the boat, the more cabin space you will have, yet this will also mean that you will have more traveling companions as well. All of the yachts that we offer have some of the best bilingual guides in the Galapagos Islands regardless of boat size, and all are captained by very experienced crewmembers. Feel free to look at our list of yachts in our “THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS” section of our web site located in our EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES. We will happily give you additional information regarding each yacht if you so desire. There is also a great variety of land-based accommodations in the islands. You can find more information in our “GALAPAGOS, THE UNCONVENTIONAL WAY” section of our web site located in our EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES. Q. – Can I create a custom itinerary or reserve a private trip? You can contact us directly, via email or phone, and one of our experienced, Tailor-Made Ecuador Travel Consultants will happily assist you in creating an experience, customized, just for you! You can also create your own itinerary right here on our web site! Q. – How do I create my own experience online?A. – Easy! All you have to do is click on the small boxes or on the links that are located after each experience that we offer. As you click on these, they will automatically go to your Cart. You can check out your Cart at anytime. You will not only find what experiences you have chosen, but you will also be able to edit them (delete an experience). You can then send us your choices and we will contact you within 48 hours with options, recommendations, and even a quote according to the sites and experiences that you have chosen! Q. – Should I purchase travel insurance for my trip?A. – The answer is yes. In fact, although we do offer accident / medical insurance as an added service, we require that all of our guests obtain comprehensive travel insurance before traveling to Ecuador and/or Peru. This insurance should not only have basic medical and accidental coverage, but should also cover repatriation, emergency air, ground, or marine transport, flight and trip delays, interruption and cancellations, baggage damage and/or loss, etc. The more coverage you can obtain, the better you will be protected, and the more relaxed you will be able to be during your trip. Q. – I am ready to go! What do I need to bring?A. – There are many important details that one needs to know before traveling to another country, and although “what to bring” is of utmost importance, there are many others that you should be familiar with as well. In our FAQ’S, we have included a separate section where you will be able to read and/or download our actual Pre – Trip information documents for the Galapagos Islands as well as for the Mainland. Here, you will find all the important information you will need to know for when you are ready to go on your trip including safety, currency, health, food & water, communications, what to bring, and more (click here to download our Pre-Trip documents: I AM READY TO GO!) Our Pre-Trip information will also be sent to you if you confirm a reservation with us. Q. – I have special dietary needs, can you take care of this?A. – One of the most exciting and wonderful things about traveling is being able to taste and enjoy local gastronomy. We are very familiar with the restaurants that we recommend throughout the country as well as in Peru so that your culinary experience will be up to expectations. Most restaurants, hotels and haciendas in Ecuador are set up to take care of dietary requests including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. For other requests, such as kosher meals, there are a few limits, especially in the Galapagos Islands since there are strict allowances on what can and can’t be brought into the islands. We will try to accommodate your requests as best as we can, but we do ask that you please discuss this with us ahead of time. Other important information: When you are ready to travel to visit us, or are seriously considering it, we recommend that you check out our I AM READY TO GO! section. Here, you will find all of the important details you need to know before traveling to Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands.
