Paradise excursion during a global pandemic! Our family took an amazing trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands this winter. The people, accommodations, and sights surpassed all of our expectations. More importantly, the service and execution provided by Into the Wilderness made the experience possible. We are frequently travelers and were very nervous about the impact of COVID-19. Paolo and the team were able to quickly adjust to all obstacles in the planning process as well as during the trip. I never had to worry about the logistics or getting service even in these very remote areas. Into the Wilderness was constantly monitoring our experience and working with boots on the ground to ensure that our family was focused purely on enjoying our time away. Our family has traveled across the world to over 30 countries and will never book a trip without the support of this organization. We have worked with Into the Vineyard and Wilderness on three trips in the past year and are planning our fourth! They are considerate, diligent, and spend weeks studying these different destinations in order to gain a tribal knowledge that does not exist among other travel companies.

Paolo and his team found us a dream family vacation in Western Canada with 4 stops in different areas of beauty and adventure. Every detail ironed out with a keen sense of what we needed to celebrate our anniversary and meet the needs of our family of 4. Best result was our sons asking ""where to next"", thanks!!
