We emigrated from the UK over 10 years ago and we know what you're looking for. We always put you first, but the quality of our tour locations are a very close second. We won't tolerate establishments that merely tolerate tourist travellers. They have to excel in in Service and Quality, or we leave them out. This tour is a favourite for the more active Cruise ship passengers and tourists alike. We spend a day enjoying local wildlife, culture, food and drink. The rainforest section can include light and easy walking for up to 1 hours, and then a much more adventurous active hike for the second hour if desired. If not we can hop back on the bus and meet the rest of the group at the finish line.

  • TPM manta
  • Playa Tarqui, Manta 130204, Ecuador
    This tour will take us along the main coast road in Manta to the historic fish market, the base of the local economy as well as the Traditional wooden shipyard right on the beach. The daily life of the fishermen has not much changed in generations and the massive wooden skeletons of the fishing trawlers being built are truly impressive.
    30 minutes
  • Pacoche Wildlife Refuge, Pacoche, Ecuador
    Start times will adjust to Ship arrival. The first stop is a trip to the green abundance of the Pacoche rainforest. Secluded in the humid microclimate this national park houses an immense variety of birds, monkeys and all sorts of local wildlife. Your guide will team up with a local resident here to help highlight all the interesting sights and sounds. The walk is 2 hours long, with the first hour being very easy mostly level terrain with some steps with bamboo railing. The second half is a little more demanding as we traverse some rocky terrain and local dear tracks along and across small streams. Feet will likely get wet here. Less adventurous types can turn back at the halfway point and meet us and the finish point on the bus.
    60 minutes
  • Playa San Lorenzo, Manta, Ecuador
    Famous as a breeding ground for sea turtles, during the winter months, we can often see the eggs hatch and the baby turtles striving towards the surf. They will return 40 years later after reach breeding age. This awesome little town is home to various expats who have accomplished their dream of living and working in paradise. We can get a traditional meal at the beachfront restaurants and bars. You’ll see a lot of strange dishes that are really tasty. We recommend the Tongas.
    90 minutes
  • Pacoche, Ecuador
    Normally we take our clients to eat in Pacoche

Once in the small town center, your guide will show you the Panama hat makers workshops and stores as well as a huge variety of local artisan goods. We can also see some of the last examples of the traditional wooden architecture in the central plaza next to the cathedral.

We saw many whales from the lookout at San Lorenzo. Quite the highlight. Chris was an excellent guide. The lunch at the restaurant on the beach was amazing also with Chris translating for us. Overall an amazing tour.

Fantastic tour with Chris! (Btw he spoke perfect English) We were able to traverse the rainforest, see whales off San Lorenzo, eat local food on the beach, watched Panamá hats and chocolate being made. It’s a must do tour to embrace all Manta has to offer. Great tour with a small group (approx 10 ppl) that was well organized, informative and super friendly guide. No need to worry about getting back to your cruise ship on time …they got you. Thanks Chris and Manta Tours!
