It would be hard to pick a favorite activity on this adventure, every day seemed to be better than the last. Climbing cotopaxi to 16k, mountain biking in the Andes, white water rafting, hiking around a volcanic crater lake, the otovalo market, the amazing hike through the rain forest, and exploring Quito. And I don't think we have ever had a better guide, Marcelo was a very knowledgeable and gracious host for his remarkable country. All of our accomodations were top notch and very unique. This trip far exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for an adventure, you will not be disappointed.

We (my husband and I ) had an amazing time in the Galapagos Islands! We did this trip at the end of October 2020 after the stressful lockdown covid months, so we were looking forward to unwind and visit for the first time the enchanted islands as our vacation. The tours designed by Rebecca Adventure were perfect and customized to our taste and needs. We visited Santa Cruz and Isabela and it was perfect because there weren't many tourists at the time due to the pandemic. We were truly impressed with all the activities, the wildlife and the services provided by our tour guides. We got to see most of the land and marine fauna that we expected, including hammerhead sharks. It was without a doubt one of the most memorable trips of our lives. We highly recommend Rebecca Adventure as your tour agency for the Galapagos and Ecuador. Biosecurity measures were very well respected on the islands, so its safe to travel! If you're looking to come to Ecuador and the Galapagos this is the time, still less tourists, the wildlife is truly impressive and besides life is short, take risks and ENJOY IT!

Did the Pacific Discovery tour, 7-day motorcycle trip. This operation is unbelievable. They have thought of every detail from the rural farm, cocoa forests and fruit plantation stops where we got some hands-on learning from passionate, local experts to the small, super-friendly accommodations nestled in the rainforests with waterfalls and rope-swings. I was blown away at every turn. Ask for "Andy" >> the super-charismatic wonder guide who is so easy-going, caring, and authentic, that he makes you feel like his lifelong best friend after the first evening. This was the best boys trip I've ever been on. (And I have been on a lot of them!) 7 days of adrenalin pumping experience. You will be pleasantly exhausted every night and you will not be let down.

This was a great way to see the city in air conditioned comfort. Our tour guide is a retired airline pilot with perfect English and a great deal of knowledge regarding the city. We opted for the breakfast/lunch tour. We toured spots outside of the usual “tourists traps”. Lunch was perfection! We ate local cuisine at a corner cafe and the owner explained each dish in great detail. Don’t leave Guayaquil without taking this tour.

Katty was our highly educated Galápagos guide, and she is spectacular on many levels. She is fun, funny, kind, knowledgeable, & happy. She has a degree in environmental engineering (I believe) and is a life-long Galápagos local. She knew the shortcuts, processes, best seats, & best plans for EVERYTHING. She gave us insider tips on what to do and where to eat in our spare time. She took great photos and shared them all with us. I cannot recommend her any more highly. ????

We spend the most incredible days at the Tucan Lodge! Everything from the the food and the rooms to the guide and activities was perfect. Besides the tours we also loved the Chocolate making from Cacao beans, sleeping siesta in hammocks in the jungle and stand up paddling with dolphins in the lagoon. Our guide Gilbert knows the jungle perfectly and spotted the most hidden animals such as giant otters, sloths, anacondas, pacas, and we even heard a jaguar from about 40m distance! We will definitely be back.
