What travelers are saying

"It's hard to describe how lucky we are to have been able to work with Stephanie in planning our honeymoon to Japan. From the very beginning, Stephanie was friendly, flexible, and an absolute wealth of knowledge. We had several meetings with her leading up to our trip to come up with the perfect itinerary. Throughout this, Stephanie was mindful of our budget, without sacrificing anything. During our trip, Audley was available at all hours to help with anything and everything which was such a relief to know we had that resource available to us. I truly cannot imagine having planned this trip without all of Stephanie's guidance and knowledge- and cannot imagine taking another big trip like this without the help of Audley. Thank you again!"

Ecuador Birding Tours Tour Selection Trips

Ecuador is one of the best places for birding, especially in the Amazon and Galapagos. Most tours to the Galapagos are self contained, but if you have more time, there are some tours that also incorporate the mainland sights as well.
Birding tours are a great way to meet fellow birding enthusiasts. You’ll be around the same group every day so it’s the perfect opportunity for sharing stories and photography tips.
Bring a light log. For serious photographers, this is essential for keeping track of your settings in order to improve or replicate great shots.
