Kontiki Wayra: exploring Ecuador’s coastline by yacht
Choose between 2 unique Expeditions: The Toquilla and Spondylus Routes
Kontiki Wayra Luxury Cruise is a boutique sea expedition that offers the chance to explore the beauty and Culture of Coastal Ecuador. Kontiki Wayra’s sleek well-designed deckspace, meeting space and elegant staterooms are designed for sustainably down to the smallest detail and provide a contemporary space to relax while you take in the panoramic views. Modern designed cabins and bathrooms with huge walk-in showers take the nautical experience to new heights. Kontiki Wayra’s outside spaces are yours to explore. Relax and soak up the Ecuadorian sunshine on soft loungers in the Chill Parlour. Sip an organic cocktail at the bar. Or a glass of chilled champagne in the Jacuzzi, enjoying your prime vantage point across the waves. A team of ten crew are on hand to arrange kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkelling straight from the deck. Enjoy the intimate spa and allow the therapists to work their magic. Relaxation extends to dining on Kontiki Wayra as you enjoy exemplary organic delicacies without even leaving the yacht. But should you decide to go exploring, the authentic experiences you can enjoy from Kontiki Wayra are unparalleled.

We had a wonderful time on our adventure and it was due to the great planning of our guides. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to experience Peru and Ecuador. Thank you, thank you!

The best trip and every aspect Maite (the trip designer) and the company handled was excellent. The only way it could have been better, is if I had more time away from work. Gracias!
— Lee A.
Maite was extremely helpful and professional to book a trip of a lifetime to Peru and the Galapagos!! She is very responsive and on top of making sure everything runs smoothly and that the trip caters to our wants/needs.
