Life is Good in Ecuador
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I decided to open Galapagos Connoisseur. In these 5 years we have created unique tours and experiences to show our guests how good life is in Ecuador. I never wanted to create a generic travel company, instead I’ve always treated my guests like my friends, teaching them what is really important in our country and culture. That’s what travel and life is all about, and it will be a pleasure sharing it with you.
We get it, Galapagos is Ecuador's call to fame ....
We understand that the main reason for coming down to Ecuador is visiting the Galápagos Islands. I don’t blame you really. The Galapagos are a magical place that you cannot begin to understand unless you’ve experienced it first-hand. Nothing, and I mean nothing can prepare you for this trip of a lifetime. But…its confusing and overwhelming to find the perfect Galapagos cruise that will match your travel dates, budget and special requests.

PICKLEBALL is great in Ecuador
I LOVE Pickleball!
I started playing back in 2023 and the rest is history.
Many of my clients share my love for the sport and have asked if any tours could include some pickleball action.
I always aim to please my clients and I couldn’t think of a better way to do this then to play a round of pickleball with them. We can all share a great time together, get some exercise, have some fun and play Pickleball on the Equator!
