Dear Friends,
Surtrek began 20 years ago with a guide and his dream of sharing his passion for authentic adventure travel, and in doing so, to offer the best and most complete tour services in his country. That guide was me. Allow me to introduce myself – My name is Alfonso, and I’m the owner of Surtrek Tour Operator based in Quito, Ecuador.
Over the years, my dream has evolved. What began as a tiny adventure travel company has grown to where Surtrek now operates in a half dozen countries, providing personalized, luxury services to tourists, agencies and operators from around the world.
However our vision hasn’t changed. We’ve kept our relaxed, personalized service philosophy, as well as our down-home desire to share the best of what our destinations have to offer. We are large enough to flawlessly coordinate even the most complex travel plans, yet still small enough to know our clients by name.
Surtrek has a firm commitment to the environment, emphasizing sustainable and community tourism. We put our money where our mouth is, not stopping at green certifications alone. We strive to make a real difference in our corner of the world by actively sponsoring a host of locally sustainable ventures. Please browse our website for more information on our past, current and future projects. We’d love to tell you more in person about what we’re doing.
My company, Surtrek, has an uncompromising dedication to authenticity, exceptional service and the “little details” that we believe make the difference between an ordinary vacation and an extraordinary once-in-a-lifetime experience.
You have a choice when it comes to planning a holiday, and here I hope to show you just a few of the reasons why Surtrek is your best option: We have first hand, thorough knowledge of our destinations and their features. We offer unbiased recommendations and customized itineraries based on your individual needs and interests, and we are in constant pursuit of the unique, the memorable, and the magical for our clients – always with an emphasis on consistently superior, personalized service.
We’ve constructed this website to give you an idea of what we offer, and to hopefully inspire you to think in a different manner about travel in South America.
I want to open the door for you to my world and share all the authentic and inspirational experiences my company can offer you, but without sacrificing the creature comforts. I have a passion for and believe in a more extraordinary type of travel. My team and I would love to share that passion with you.
Have a wander through our website, www.surtrek-adventures.com, and see even more examples of what makes us a leader in custom, luxury travel. Then just give us a call or send us an email.
Our kaleidoscopic travel team — 50 members strong — is made up of native speakers of eight different languages. We’d love to chat, tell you a bit more about who we are, what we offer or answer any questions you might have.
We very much look forward to being able to help organize a seamlessly exceptional holiday in Ecuador, the Galapagos or beyond...
Wishing you happy travels from the “middle of the world.”
Alfonso Tandazo
