    Dear Mihaela, Thank you so much for sharing your honest feedback with me. I truly appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience in more detail. I’m very happy to hear that the cruise was the highlight of your trip and that you enjoyed it to the fullest. That’s wonderful to know ???? I completely understand your perspective regarding San Cristóbal. After such an incredible cruise experience, it can feel less extraordinary in comparison. Regarding the hotel, I would also like to mention that it is indeed classified as a boutique hotel; however, I truly appreciate your comments, as they help me better align expectations and improve future recommendations. Thank you again for your openness and for trusting me with your journey. It was a real pleasure assisting you, and your feedback is very important to me. A big hug, Nicole

    Adam

    Asked on May 24th, 2026

    I'd like to know in June which tours have a few people on them as I don't want to be alone

    Group size
    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written May 2026

      At the moment, we don't have any more confirmed passengers for June, however you will be joining daily group tours, so you won't be on any activities alone, the only difference is that you will be with a different group each day no more than 16 travelers.

    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written June 2026

      September and October are among the best months to visit the Galapagos, as the cooler waters attract an incredible variety of marine wildlife, including sea lions, penguins, marine iguanas, and many seabirds.

    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written June 2026

      In any case, you will not be alone during the excursions, as all daily activities are conducted on a shared basis with other travelers in groups of up to 16, which also gives you the chance to meet new people every day.

    Rosemary

    Asked on January 22nd, 2026

    1. is the transportation included between Quito and the Galapagos islands? 2. we like the 14 Day guided tour itinerary offer by Responsible Travel, but that tour has too few days in Galapogas islands. is it possible to combine the front part of the 14 day guided tour (non Galapagos) + the 10 day guided Galapagos island hopping tour offer by the same company? 3. could you give me the tour price per person for 3 star hotels and 4 star hotels if we would like to upgrade?

    Transport
    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written January 2026

      Yes, transfers (airport - hotel - airport) are included, so the day that you will fly to the Galapagos Islands, you will have assistance from your English-Speaking Driver Guide.

      Mixing both programs, 14 Days in Ecuador Highlights Amazon and Galapagos Islands and the 10 Days Galapagos Island Hopping in Santa Cruz and Isabela, here's what I suggest:

      Day 1: Arrive in Quito and transfer to your hotel
      Day 2: Otavalo Experience (Cuicocha - Cotachi - Plaza de Los Ponchos)
      Day 3: Mindo Full day (hiking, chocolate experience, hummingbirds, waterfalls)
      Day 4: Quito to Cotopaxi (hiking activity) - overnight in Baños
      Day 5: Baños Waterfall Route and transfer to your Amazon Lodge
      Day 6: Amazon Lodge Day #2
      Day 7: Amazon Lodge Day #3 - return to Quito
      Day 8: Flight to the Galapagos Islands (Not Included in the price) and explore the highlands of Santa Cruz (giant tortoises)
      Day 9: Kayak activity in Tortuga Bay

      The itinerary includes one night in Quito to connect with the flights to the Galápagos, since flights to the islands are only available in the morning. The local flights are not included in order to avoid unnecessary taxes. Once the tour is purchased, I can suggest airlines and schedules so you can book the flights directly.

      You will begin your hike at 08:30 AM. It's a 4 to 5-hour hike considering the return, the hike is moderately challenging, primarily due to the distance. Is relatively flat, with moderate inclinations along the trail.

    My wife and I are planning a trip to the Galapagos in late December or early January, and we're interested in this tour. We're also hoping to include a scuba diving experience during our trip. Do you have any options for scuba diving that could be arranged in place of some of the planned activities?

      Regarding your question: I will arrange scuba diving for you on Day #3 instead of visiting an uninhabited Island. Nevertheless, I only have available spaces on the following dates: - December 26th,2024: North Mosquera / Seymour Channel - December 27th,2024: Daphne with Seymour or Gordon Rocks. For all of them, You should have your PADI license, 25 immersions, and at least 8 months from the last one.
