About Us

Welcome to Ecoventura!

We invite you to embark on a transformative adventure that redefines luxury travel in harmony with nature. Our commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism offers discerning travelers an unparalleled experience.

From Family Vision to Enduring Legacy

Ecoventura’s journey began in the mid 1980s, when founder Santiago Dunn and his family set out with a bold vision: to safeguard the Galápagos Islands while sharing their extraordinary wonders with the world. Guided by his passion and dedication, Santiago shaped Ecoventura into a pioneer of eco-tourism, setting new benchmarks for sustainability and guest experience in the region.

Now, with our 35th anniversary on the horizon, that legacy lives on. With the same spirit that inspired our beginnings, we remain deeply committed to conservation and community, ensuring the Galápagos endure as a sanctuary for generations of adventurers, explorers, and nature lovers to come.

Redefining Your Onboard Experience

For over three decades, we have redefined the luxury expedition yachting experience by immersing travelers in an intimate voyage with exceptional itineraries, refined gastronomy, and life-enriching experiences in the Galapagos Islands.

Committed to Sustainable Tourism

Sustainability has been at the heart of what we do since our inception, with efforts to minimize our environmental impact at the core of our operations. We are proud that we started greening the operation decades ago and continue to initiate and support efforts to preserve the Galapagos.

The only Relais & Châteaux Yachts in Galapagos

Relais & Châteaux, established in 1954, is an association of 580 unique hotels and restaurants throughout the world, owned and operated by independent entrepreneurs – most often families – who are passionate about their craft and deeply committed to forging warm, lasting relationships with their guests.

Relais & Châteaux members protect and promote the wealth and diversity of the world’s culinary and hospitality traditions, to ensure they continue to thrive. They are equally dedicated to preserving local heritage and the environment, as articulated in the association’s Vision presented to UNESCO in November 2014.
