LUXURY ECUADOR HOLIDAYS AND GALAPAGOS CRUISES

A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME HOLIDAY

From the winding mountain trails of the Andes in Ecuador to the extraordinary array of wildlife across the enchanted isles of the Galapagos Islands, a holiday to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands is unlike anything on earth.

A trip to Ecuador is so much more than a gateway to the Galapagos Islands. Begin your journey in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Quito, the former capital of the Inca Empire, before visiting the countless market towns like Otavalo that are full of handmade crafts and trekking through the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest in search of a vast array of wildlife including giant otters, spider monkeys, jaguars and the rare pink river dolphin. No Ecuador holiday is complete without a hiking trip in the Andean highlands to the emerald green lake of Quilotoa and through the snow-capped Avenue of Volcanoes.

Lying 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador is the infamous Galapagos Islands, home to some of the most remarkable wildlife both on land and sea. Aside from the renowned giant tortoises of the Galapagos that have been roaming the islands for over two million years, you will have plenty of opportunities to see up-close the diverse array of wildlife including green sea turtles laying their eggs, marine iguanas changing colour as they moult, sea lions playing on the beach as well as the ritual mating dance of the blue-footed booby.

The best way to visit the ‘Enchanted Isles’ is with a Galapagos Islands cruise, but there are hotels on the islands for those who wish to stay on land. When combining a voyage to these remote islands with a holiday to the small and beautiful country of Ecuador, you will be promised one of the best off the beaten path holidays in the world.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with 91ºÚÁÏÍø – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
Testimonial 5
“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
Testimonial 2
“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough
