Description of Ecuador tailor made family holiday
This two-week itinerary has been carefully crafted to create the perfect, tailor-made holiday itinerary for families and mixed generational groups. It captures some of the most exciting aspects of Ecuador’s cloud forest, Andean landscapes and people, and, of course, the Galapagos Islands. Ecuador is a haven for adventure, wildlife watching and cultural wonders. It is also a very small country, making holidays very accessible for families who don’t want too much time on the road. Within a few days you can travel from the UNESCO World heritage capital Quito, meet people from fascinating indigenous communities, haggle at a market, and walk and swim in the cloud forest.
And then there is the whole other world of the Galapagos Islands, in the water and on land. Swim with sea lions or sea turtles and get up close to iguanas and giant tortoises - just part of the extraordinary wildlife and fun, from dawn until dusk. Water features heavily on the mainland, too - in Ecuador’s mountain rivers and waterfalls. The itinerary is tailor made and so we can adapt it to suit your family’s needs and interests, whether they want more adrenalin filled adventure, or tranquil wildlife watching. Ecuador and the Galapagos holidays really do offer it all, and even though there is so much to do in two weeks, you will never feel rushed. This is family time after all.

Planet
We support the Galápagos Conservation Trust through an annual contribution and offer customers a one-year membership of the Trust.On our trips we encourage passengers and staff to dispose of litter in a responsible way. Recycling facilities are now being installed on the islands in many places and we see it as part of our responsibility to use these and ensure that locals are encouraged to do the same. We strongly emphasise the need to save electricity in the islands by not leaving lights on at hotels and keeping electricity consumption to a minimum. All electricity has to be generator produced in the Galapagos and it is vital that this is pointed out to all travellers.
Visitors are reminded to conserve water in both the Galápagos Islands and mainland Ecuador, where water resources can be limited.
Shared transport is used on the mainland and in the islands where possible, while shared motorboats are used for excursions in the Galápagos.
People
The trip employs locals only, so all wages and taxes are kept in country, helping to create a beneficial relationship between tourism and the local community. This also means that locals get great life skills, such as learning foreign languages so as to work in tourism, at home and abroad.We use small, locally-owned hotels wherever possible and encourage people to use local restaurants, plus tips, which is part of the culture in the country.
In Galapagos all guides are Galapagos residents and trained there, giving them a unique bond to the islands and the protection of the wildlife, plus making sure that the benefits of tourism are felt by those that live on the islands.
