GBWonderful trip to Ecuador and the Galopagos Islands Our trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos went off without a hitch! The guides spoke excellent English and were very informative and fun to be with. They always met us on time and never left us wondering what we should do next in a country where we do not speak the language. Our cruise on the Eclipse was delightful and we made many friends among the passengers. We highly recommend Detour Destinations and hope to use them again on our next adventure tourism experience.

GBOur "Go To" Travel Planners! A few years ago we booked our first adventure tour to the Galapagos Islands; then Machu Picchu. Unbelievable. Extremely well organized. Since then we have booked Easter Island, Amazon, Uganda, Costa Rica, etc. to name a few. Our last several trips have been totally customized to meet our needs, desires, budget. Awesome group of people to work with. Because we have been working with them so long, I feel like they really have a good idea of the kind of vacations we desire. They have never disappointed us!

GBFun, fun, fun! I had a great time on my trip to Ecuadar a few years back. It was my first big, out of the US vacation. Detour made it fun, easy, and comfortable! I loved the variety of events planned for each day: snorkeling, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and more! Some of which were a first for me, all the tour guides were helpful and accommodating with each activity. I definitely look forward to my next trip with them :)

GBexperts in AUTHENTIC adventure travel I can't say enough good things about Detour Destinations. They know, really know, the ins and outs of Central and South America. I havae worked with them on several trips - Peru, Costa Rica and Ecuador. They know these countries - have the insider's scoop - on people, places and experiences. They have created deeply authentic, culturally rich and super fun & adventurous trips for my family. I asked for a combo of education, adventure and community - they delivered on all three. I asked for a college level educated field biologist and history tour guide and they not only delivered an expert in the history & culture of Peru, but one who had connections to the Indigenious people of the Andes....so when we walked a trail and picked a leaf or flower he could tell us why it was important to the people 1000 years ago and today. That alone made a life changing impression on my son. All important to us on any trip the food! Detour knew where to go to - from diners and five star - to experience Anthony Bourdain authentic food. I'll never forgot the Coca leaf ravioli with a fresh tomato sauce enjoyed while sitting on in a sun drenched, flower rich patio - it was magical. Detour Destinations is my go to for custom adventure travel - for family, for multi-generational trips and for girl friend get-aways. Last but not least DD delivers value......you get everything the big boy thick colored brochure travel operators offer without the huge mark-up.

GBBeautiful Belize Honeymoon! Our whole experience with Detour was phenomenal! The staff took the time to plan the exact trip that we asked for and took care of all the small details so we didn't have to. Our trip was fabulous, and we totally recommend starting your adventure in the jungle and finishing up with an island adventure! We would absolutely recommend Detour and their services to anyone looking for a great adventure in Central or South America!
