The boat cruise was the highlight of our trip. We enjoyed it to the maximum. Then we had 5 days on San Cristobal Island—it was quite nice but not extraordinary, mainly because we already saw the best during the cruise. The hotel on San Cristobal was modest, although it was presented as a boutique. But the rest was quite enjoyable.

Excellent trip. The itinerary was well planned and included all the main highlights. Responsble Travel organised everything extremely efficiently thanks to Belen. They used Wunderbus tours and the guides, Jose and Erick, were brilliant. Lovely comfortable transport.

Best time to visit Ecuador
- Spring 2026
Spring sets up perfect timing to mix mainland Ecuador with Galapagos exploration. Most routes kick off in Quito's old town then head to Cotopaxi National Park where you ride horses with local cowboys and walk around glacier-fed lakes. Once in the islands, you'll snorkel quiet coves with green sea turtles, find Galapagos penguins and walk up to spots like Frigatebird Hill. Our guests really enjoy cooking classes where they make traditional encebollado with fresh tuna and meeting local communities to learn about sugar cane farming and also traditional agriculture.

- Summer 2026
Summer tours blend physical challenges with local culture across Ecuador's regions. You start in the Andes at South America's biggest indigenous market in Otavalo before heading to the deep blue Quilotoa crater lake. The path winds through Ba�os where you'll cycle past waterfalls, try the "End of the World" swing and soak in hot springs. In the Amazon, you'll tackle white-water rapids on the Jatunyacu River, look for night creatures on jungle walks and learn traditional plant medicine from indigenous guides. Our travelers tell us they love how these routes mix hiking, cycling and also cultural experiences all in one trip.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn works well for exploring high mountains and coastal areas both. Active tours combine horse rides near snowy volcanoes, downhill biking on jungle paths and kayaking in wildlife spots. You'll visit artists' workshops in the Andes, learn chocolate making from local experts and spot countless birds in misty forests. Our guests often mention how they love the variety - hiking volcanic trails one day, swimming with sea turtles the next and also learning at wildlife breeding centers.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter brings out the best of the Galapagos from December through May with warmer seas and great visibility. Our multi-island tours let you snorkel at Kicker Rock where hammerhead sharks glide by in the clear waters. You'll spot nesting frigates, swim with curious sea lions and also watch blue-footed boobies hunting for fish. The volcanic walks take you through lava tunnels and up Sierra Negra, which happens to be the world's second largest volcanic crater. When you stay island-based, there's time to kayak Las Tintoreras, see giant tortoises roaming their highland homes and also visit the Charles Darwin Research Station.
