Galaeco - Galapagos Cruises Ecuador Ecotours Galapagos yachts

Our company began many years ago with a dream had by a group of ecologists and began to evolve as an organization in 1998. At Galaeco our vision and goal has always been to develop environmentally sensitive and sustainable tourism in Ecuador. We hope for the visitor to Ecuador to enjoy the seventeen protected natural areas while learning to live in balance with the environment. These are also the main pursuits of the Ecuadorian Asocacion of Eco-tourism or, A.S.E.C., of which we are a proud member. As members of A.S.E.C. we are also members of the World Organization of Eco-tourism with its headquarters in the U.S.

To better serve our guests, this year, we have included another office to serve the Galapagos Islands. Our tours offer a very comfortable experience aboard one of our custom yachts. The yachts allow the visitor to experience the beauty and richness of this unique area in a very intimate manner.

Thanks, Jenny,

We just got home. Thank you for this detailed info on "Panama" hats.

I stopped by your office Tuesday morning to see you (or Pablo) (I did not check my e-mail while in Ecuador) but you were not yet open.

I was not entirely sure where the style of a panama hat would suit me, so I purchased one of medium quality for an affordable price. If I like it, I will look at getting a better one. They are available over the
Internet, or I can always fly back to Ecuador!

Thank you for helping us enjoy your beautiful country.

Richard

Dear Jenny,
thank you very much for arranging my trip to Galapagos. The islands and the nature there is really wonderful and unique.
Everything were allright with the "Eden". The crew and the other travellers had been really nice. I enjoyed it very much. It has been a bit could for snorkeling as you said, but at least it worked.
Only the flight to Galapagos wasnšt good organized. It has been delayed wich was bad because the whole situation in the airport is really not to understand what is going on. And as a person who doesnŽt understand spanish very good the situation is even more worse.
All the best

Thank you for organisation, also for the nice hotel in Quito.

Dear Jenny, we wish you a very merry Christmas and a successful New Year ! But most of all we want to thank you for a wonderful trip down the avenida del volcanoes. The organization was perfect, and we had a wonderful time. Pablo, our guide, was very personable, experienced, and he tried to accomodate all of our wishes. In many cases, he actually anticipated our wishes. But the jewel of the trip was the driver, Patricio. You can hardly find anybody, who loves his country, Ecuador, more than this man, and he knows the people and the geography better than anybody we could have hoped for. Through his biking career, he is also familiar with a lot of little details, which you would miss from merely an automobile, and he has an extremely wide network of great connections. This guy is super, and you should hold on to him. In terms of places visited, we liked Cuenca the best. All our accomodations were very good. If we had to rank them, El Dorado in Cuenca would get first prize, hosteria Andaluz would be second, Quilotoa Crater Lodge would be third, and Banos ( Trapiche ? ) would be fourth. The most interesting event on our trip was the visit with a local familiy near Imbabura. Thank you for all the work you did for us, and Hasta Luego ! Wolfgang Liebmann

Dear Jenny,

We had a very good time in Quito and on the Islands. It was wonderful! Such a great time with the sea lions!

But, we noticed some problems with the Angelique. Many tourists from Europe said that they will make complaint in their agency. It's not my case, I knew that it was an economical boat but I must admit that it could be better than that. So, I send you the form as requested.

Have a nice day and thanks a lot for everything. Your drivers and guides were always there, on time, and gave us a really good service.

Helene

Hello Jenny,

almost one year is gone since we visited Ecuador.
When I saw you after our tours I asked you for an evaluation paper.
Unfortunately I forgot to fill out and send, but better to do it late than never.

We want to say, that all your service was good or better. We were happy, that you have done this job for us.
The Galapagos tour was unforgettable. The Sulidae was the perfect ship for us.
The Jungle tour in Tapir Lodge was fantastic too.
When people will ask us where to book such tours, we will recommend you.
When we come back to Ecuador, we will take your service again.

Best wishes for you

Thomas Eidt and family
