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!

We normally do not do guided trips, but I am so glad we chose Rebecca Travel. There are a lot of logistics getting around the Galapagos and it was so much easier to have them coordinate a land trip. They customized the trip we wanted. The guides were really nice and easy going. There is so much to learn from them and I’m glad they were there to give as much information as possible. I also felt the price was very good for what was included - hikes, scuba, snorkel, lunches, snacks, nice hotels, etc. This was truly one of the best trips we ever had and besides the beauty of the islands, it was also due to Karina and the team at Rebecca Travel.

Everything was smooth and I had an incredible experience I think I’ll seldom be able to experience again. Highly recommend Takiri travel and all associates tour guides.
