HOW TO BOOK A TOUR?

Our programs are rather customized and we try to accommodate the travel needs of our customers. To avoid misunderstandings, we don't offer a prepaid travel option. Just send an email to info@parks-and-tribes.com or contact us through our contact data below. 

PAYMENTS

The Yacht owners don't consider a reservation confirmed until they have received payment. This means we have to receive payment to consolidate a booking. Transfers of amounts under $1000 may be more economical with Western Union or Moneygram while transfering higher amounts may turn out to be more economical by SWIFT bank transfers.

Why we don't accept credit cards in Ecuador? The credit card services charge 7%! We would have to charge you for that, making your trip more expensive. We do everything to make your trip as cost effective as possible.

Already in Ecuador?

You can pay cash in our office mentioned below. Cancelation fees vary per yacht.
