Best experience ever!

07-Apr-2023

For 4 days we were dropped in the jungle by Rebecca. And the greatest experience ever! When they say dropped it is true, in the Amazone you are in the middle of nowhere. We saw so many different types of wildlife, with my personal favorite being a sloth:) The guides, chefs, and transportation were professional and nice. I would recommend this trip to anyone in the future!

Amazing Adventure!

06-Jul-2023

This was the trip of a lifetime! Everything was organized so that every day was better than the last. From hiking up volcanos to see a beautiful crater lake to hiking to a basecamp below a glacier the views were amazing! We also biked down a mountain and went rafting. All the equipment and support along the way was top notch and the people who supported us treated us like family!! This was a trip I will never forget and look forward to booking another trip with them!!!

06-Jan-2024

We just returned from the a family trip to the Galapagos arranged through Rebecca Adventure Travel and have nothing but positive comments. The recommended tours were all spot-on, and the daily itinerary reminders and modifications were perfect. If I go back, I will use Rebecca again. Tips for anyone visiting the Galapagos: bring plenty of cash (in U.S. dollars), as many restaurants do not accept credit cards. And bring an underwater camera. If you are prone to motion sickness, the speedboat rides between islands can be brutal in rough weather. Familiarize yourself with the tipping customs. You will love the Islands, and the Ecuadorians.

Best snorkeling experience ever!

10-Mar-2023

We went with Rebecca Adventure Travel to Isla Pinzon in Galapagos and experienced some of the best snorkeling of our lives! We saw tons of sharks, rays, schools of fish, and a few very playful sea lion pups. Of the tour operators we talked to, RBA was by far the most responsive and provided a lot of small but important touches to our day tour. The lunch they prepared was also way better than anything we expected. Highly recommend visiting Pinzon and RBA.
