Check with your travel agent or the local Ecuadorian Consul. Remember that you are close to the equator and the sun rises around 0600 and sets at about 1800 every day, all year round, so an early start is always recommended. Some of the larger boats remain on continental time to ensure an early start. Design by Kukuzi.com.
