Galápagos Tailor-Made Tours

Galapagos Islands

Tours

The Galapagos Islands are one of the most extraordinary wildlife destinations on Earth — a volcanic archipelago where giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and sea lions thrive in a protected ecosystem. Located about 1,000 km off the coast of Ecuador, the islands are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living laboratory of evolution.

At 2° Expeditions, we design carefully curated Galapagos journeys combining wildlife encounters, conservation, and authentic travel experiences.

Perfect Ecuador Experience through all it's diversity. From Highlands to Rainforest. Beautiful, diverse, active, sustainable, mindful and wild. In the best possible way. Can't wait for a next trip with Felipe

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aprecié el nivel de cuidado prestado en cada una de las actividades.  Me pareció un excelente servicio que el hotel se asegurara que nos escolten hasta el spa, o que hayan llevado en vehículo a la persona de nuestro grupo que no podía fácilmente llegar hasta el sitio de las reuniones. En el Cajas fueron inclusivos y consiguieron que todos disfrutáramos.  En el city tour llevaron a la persona que tenía habilidades diferentes a un ritmo que le fue posible conocer.  No tengo más que agradecimientos por el excelente servicio prestado en el hotel, los tours, las comidas y las atenciones prestadas por el coordinador y guía Felipe Neira.

His knowledge of history and culture is amazing and he quickly became a friend of our family’s. He took such great care of our four year old daughter and our 3 month old. He is honestly the best!

Incredible trip! Amazing views! Lots of diverse experiences, meeting great local entrepreneurs, and tasting the best cacao, all the way to a delicious goat cheese.
Excellent hikes and walks! Beautiful forest and rivers.
Amazing guide and driver.
A trip worth doing in the south of Ecuador.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We really enjoyed our guided trip with 2 Degrees Expeditions, in the Cuenca area.  Our guide, Sebastian, was very organized, knowledgeable, friendly and highly professional.  We toured the towns north of Cuenca, viewed the Incan ruins, walking part of the old roads, and we visited towns and markets to meet the artisans who craft beautiful guitars, cloths, jewelry and leather goods.  We also visited a farm and community center.  It was a great experience.  I would highly recommend 2 Degrees for your next trip.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used the services of Felipe Neira and this travel agency while in Cuenca and highly recommend him. He is fluent in English, highly professional, interesting and a very safe driver as well. I understand that he does excursions beyond Cuenca and I will be hiring him the next time I return to the area for an extended trip. He was one of the best tour guides/agencies I experienced during my one month visit to Ecuador.
