We couldn't have been happier with the travel plans laid out by Maria Belen and supported by Ana Maria. Every aspect of our journey was expertly handled, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in our vacation without any logistics stress.

• Seamless Execution: The accommodations selected for us were absolutely excellent. Behind the scenes, the coordination was completely seamless—our guides always met us right on time, and every single transfer went perfectly.

• Enriching Experiences: Our guided tour of Quito was a massive highlight. It was incredibly interesting and educational, giving us a deep appreciation for the vibrant culture and the fascinating historical transformation of Ecuador.

• Phenomenal Support: What truly blew us away was their responsiveness. When we had an urgent request to arrange an air taxi transfer service, Maria Belen and Ana Maria jumped right on it and handled the logistics flawlessly.

💡 A Quick Tip for Fellow Travelers:
While completely out of KimKim's control—as Mother Nature always has the final say—the public speedboat and taxi transfers between the islands can be VERY choppy and a highly unpleasant experience if you are prone to motion sickness. We highly suggest considering the airplane taxi transfers instead. Not only is it a smoother ride, but it also provides a stunning, unique aerial perspective of the islands' geological makeup!

Overall, we cannot say enough how much we enjoyed this experience and appreciated their expert guidance. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a perfectly tailored, stress-free adventure!

Nice accommodation and located oceanside, which was great! The breakfast was good, albeit a smaller selection, of local Ecuadorian cuisine and what is commonly considered 'Continental Breakfast' options for tourist who may shy away from local food. Just FYI for travelers, is that Puerto Villamil is definitely a smaller, less developed town.
