Custom-Made Tours in Ecuador

Your Gateway to Ecuador's Most Authentic Adventures

Planning a trip to Ecuador? What you choose to do—and who you do it with—can define your entire experience. At Dutchman Adventure, we’ve spent over 35 years guiding travelers through Ecuador’s most unforgettable terrain. What began as Biking Dutchman has grown into one of the most experienced, locally rooted operators for Ecuador's best adventure tours. From cloud forests to crater lakes, we design trips that go far beyond the standard circuit, offering real access, smart planning, and a deep connection to the places we explore.

Amazon Rainforest

Cruise, paddle, and hike through one of the world’s most biodiverse places. Our Amazon rainforest tours in Ecuador include Yasuni, Cuyabeno, and remote jungle lodges, all led by expert naturalist guides.

Get up close and personal with marine iguanas, sea lions, and giant tortoises on our multi-day island-hopping tours or small-ship cruises. Comfort and wildlife go together.

Quito Day Trips & Birdwatching

Biking Cotopaxi, relaxing in Papallacta, or birdwatching with Francisco Sornoza—our one-day options are anything but basic.

Why Our Tours Are Different

Our team lives here, plans here, and guides here. You deal directly with the people who know Ecuador firsthand.

We’re Local, Not a Booking Middleman

We’ve been leading tours long before Ecuador became a trend. Our know-how isn’t theoretical—it’s lived.

35+ Years of Proven Experience

We prioritize flexibility and attention, not volume. Small groups mean better flow and real exploration.

Smaller Groups, Smarter Routes

Our guides are not seasonal hires. They’re certified Ecuadorian professionals with years in the field.

Guides Who Actually Guide

Because of our long-term relationships, we can offer routes and lodge stays that many tour companies simply can’t.

Our focus is simple: real adventure, real support, no guesswork. Choose from ready-to-go tours or work with us to create your own route through our Ecuador custom-made tours.

Access Others Don’t Have

Custom-Made Tours, Built Around You

Every traveler is different. Our Ecuador custom-made tours are designed to match how you want to experience the country, whether that’s fast-paced adventure, cultural immersion, or a mix of both. 

Want to combine kayaking in the Amazon with a high-altitude bike descent? Prefer a quiet trip focused on culture, food, or photography? We can make it happen. 

We build itineraries from scratch, down to accommodations, guides, routes, and daily timing. Whether you’re planning a family trip, honeymoon, or solo deep dive into Ecuador’s wild side, we’ll plan it for you.

What Type of Adventure Are You Looking For?

  • Bike from Volcano to Jungle

Ride down Cotopaxi’s slopes, through cloud forests, and into the Amazon basin with support vehicles and experienced cycling guides.

  • Snorkel and Hike in the Galápagos

Swim with rays and reef sharks, then hike lava trails and volcanic ridges. Land-based trips or small-ship cruises available.

  • Go Deep into the Jungle

Stay in remote ecolodges, meet indigenous communities, and track wildlife on foot or by canoe. This is the best jungle tour in Ecuador for those seeking connection and clarity.

  • Trek the Highlands

Tackle the best trekking tour in Ecuador, from the Quilotoa Loop to remote Andean paths few tourists ever reach. Our hiking tours in Ecuador are designed for challenge, scenery, and cultural depth.

  • Explore in a Day from Quito

Hit the best trails, volcanoes, and hot springs—all within reach of the city. These one-day trips are perfect for those short on time but big on experience.

Not Sure Where to Start? We’ll Help.

If you’re just starting to plan, that’s no problem. Most of our travelers come to us with questions, not answers—and that’s exactly where we come in. We’ll walk you through the options, give you realistic timing, and help you combine regions if that’s what you’re after. 

A Galápagos cruise followed by a few days in the Amazon? Easy. An Andes-to-Amazon bikepacking route? Done.
