Ecuador & Galapagos holidays
Cox & Kings offers a selection of Ecuador tours that can be taken on a private basis, including cruises of the Galapagos islands. Although most explore the islands on a cruise, hotel stays on Santa Cruz island are also possible, allowing for a more personal and flexible approach to your visit.
Ecuador also ties in well with neighbouring countries such as Peru, combining the fascinating colonial heritage and Inca ruins of both countries. Or make Ecuador your spectacular final stop on a trip around South America.
These private tours show you the kind of journeys that are available. However, these are only guideline itineraries and we can tailor your tour to suit your interests and schedule. Contact a South America specialist for more details.

We have highlighted the standard of accommodation featured on a tour immediately above the tour itinerary.
In some cases, tours include some departures in one category and some in another: you can see and select the different tour types under ‘tour variations’. For these tours, the itinerary is generally the same and just the standard of accommodation varies. However, if there are any variations in the excursions included, these are shown within the itinerary.
Superior: Most Cox & Kings tours fall under this category and are based in 4- or 5-star accommodation, or the best available.
Luxury: These tours will usually feature 5-star de luxe accommodation throughout.
Standard: Simpler in emphasis, these itineraries typically feature 3- and 4-star accommodation throughout.
Discovery: This type of holiday is best suited to the hardier traveller, as it will typically include some quite basic accommodation, possibly longer and rougher road journeys and, in some cases, more arduous activities, such as trekking.
