Ecotour operates thoughtful nature trips to some of the most spectacular natural wonders of the Americas. Our groups are led by naturalists and we observe the strange and beautiful creatures of these extraordinary places while at the same time having a lot of fun. We have river boat excursions in the Amazon, explorations in the Galapagos Islands, forest lodges in Peru, Costa Rica, Brasil and Ecuador. ...Come with us to experience the wonder of the last wild places on earth.

In 1989 Ecotour Expeditions began to offer the first "ecotours".  Now, as Ecotour enters its fifteenth year, "ecotourism" has matured into a multi-million dollar industry and the term has become a household word. The first ecotours were rugged expeditions into the Amazon and guests had to be prepared for inconvenience and discomfort. Nowadays ecotourists can travel in comfort to some of the most remote corners of the globe.

This fifteen year milestone shows not only that ecotourism has struck a chord with the travelers, but also proves the success of a compelling idea: that small scale nature tours can help support local communities while at the same time helping protect the environment. Though not all trips promoted as "ecotours" meet this standard, mostly the goals of ecotourism are being met. Travelers worldwide are helping local communities gain income while preserving the environment.

But today the Ecotour trips take place in comfortable, air-conditioned vessels specifically designed for wildlife observation. The comfort permits just about anyone to access and enjoy the wonders of the Amazon rainforest. 

Over the years our staff and guests have observed and experienced some of the most astonishing creatures and environments in tropical America.Come with us and share with us this great and important adventure.
