Eco-lodges & luxury hotels in Ecuador & the Galapagos

Cox & Kings offers a discerning selection of accommodation in Ecuador for every taste. Sumptuous hotels such as Casa Gangotena in Quito combine well with exclusive traditional haciendas such as Zuleta. Ecolodges range from contemporary luxury, such as Mashpi Lodge in a private cloud forest reserve, to rustic hideaways including Kapawi Ecolodge in the Amazon rainforest.

Meanwhile, a cruise in the Galapagos is not the only option to explore these extraordinary islands. For those who prefer to sleep on dry land there are luxury hotels in the Galapagos on Santa Cruz island, and even a plush tented camp in the highlands offering excursions to the surrounding islands.

Boats in Ecuador & Galapagos

Cox & Kings offers a considerable variety of ships and boats to suit every need for cruises around the Galapagos Islands. The larger boats, such as Silver Galapagos, offer the most comprehensive range of facilities. Those in the medium-size category, such as La Pinta and Isabella II, accommodate fewer passengers and provide good facilities and personal service.

The smaller boats range from luxury yachts like the Origin & Natural Paradise to superior catamarans such as the Seaman Journey. They provide an intimate, indulgent atmosphere and are suited to those who prefer a more interactive cruise.

In the Ecuadorian Amazon, the Anakonda and the Manatee Amazon Explorer are the only two superior river cruisers to sail along the Napo river.

Ecuador & Galapagos boat categories are to be used as a guideline only and cannot be compared to those of hotels or luxury cruise liners.
