Locally owned and operated, promoting sustainable economic practices within the Galapagos. Come to Galapagos tours have infused more than a million dollars into the local economy. With the exception of insurance, air flight and a very small sales budget every one of your tourist dollars ends up in the hands of the inhabitants, the true custodians of these islands. My company is different from the majority of other companies offering Galapagos tours where less than 5% of the visitor generated income touches the hands of the inhabitants. Every effort is made to purchase locally-grown produce, goods, and services and to promote “best practices” with regard to farming, fishing, water use and disposal of wastes etc. With your help, we are actually changing things for the better.
