Why choose Geodyssey for Ecuador

Geodyssey is the UK’s most in-depth travel company for Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

Our experience in designing trips to the area, our up-to-date and specialist understanding of the country, and our local network within Ecuador to support our customers during their holiday, are all of an extremely high quality.

In the late 1990s, after many years of only selling Venezuela and being the UK’s leading specialist there, we made the decision to approach any new destination with the same across-the-board style. As a result you will find that we don’t just offer the highlights, as many other tour operators do, but a unique range of trips that have been carefully researched to suit every type of traveller.

Our Ecuador and Galapagos brochure is by far the most comprehensive produced by any travel company anywhere. By focusing only on Ecuador and The Galapagos Islands, we hope to provide a real feel for what is unique and special, and the very different ways in which the country can best be visited, explored and enjoyed, with the best value for money too.
We span the wide range of styles that the destination offers: touring staying in beautiful haciendas, Amazon river journeys, independent self-drive, tailor-made walking holidays to suit all levels, horse riding, Galapagos cruising and specialist bird watching holidays.

For independent travel, with or without a guide, our brochure and this website provide a wide selection of sample itineraries for you to choose from, or you can ask us to design a holiday that is tailor-made to suit your tastes and budget.

We also run a small group holiday covering the Ecuadorian mainland with fixed departures throughout the year, where you can join up to a dozen people travelling with a guide. Our fair-price policy means no local payments and no single supplements if you are willing to share.

The true testimony comes from our clients who tell us time and time again that we have matched their expectations entirely. A staggering 98% of clients who return from Ecuador rate their trip as 'excellent'. We take great care from the very early stages to plan each trip together with you, taking into account your requirements and interests.

Our philosophy remains to support local economies wherever possible, for example by staying at locally-owned hotels and guesthouses, and employing local guides. We try to minimise any harmful impact on the environment or on local cultures, and to encourage conservation wherever we can.

We are not an ordinary travel company and we hope you will find that this website offers more than you will find from an ordinary tour operator. How do we get our information? By travelling in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands widely and often, by being in close contact with local people in each region, by asking our clients to report back to us when they return, and simply by making arrangements every day for people to travel there.

When you are deciding where to go for your next holiday you’ll want to turn to someone who really knows the area you’d like to visit. For Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, we hope you’ll choose Geodyssey.
